The new cycle path forms the first section of a dedicated cycling route which will run along the A4124 Wednesfield Road.

The route has been created after the City of Wolverhampton Council accessed an initial £1 million from the Government's Active Travel Fund (ATF) following a bid by the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) on behalf of all councils in the region.

Adam Tranter, West Midlands Cycling and Walking Commissioner, said:

“It is brilliant to see this new cycleway completed and ready to welcome people cycling. We know to get more people cycling we need safe, attractive options separated from motor traffic.”

Cllr Steve Evans, said:

“This new cycle route, the second in the city, provides a green, clean and safe new option for anyone who doesn’t, or chooses not to drive."
