Will new cycle 'corridor' prove a wheel success?

The first stage of a project which aims to make life easier for cyclists on the route from Worthing to Goring begins on Monday, June 19.

The first phase of the work on the route consists of marking advisory cycle lanes and installing signing.

The work will start at the western end of Goring Road by the Mulberry shopping Parade, and will continue eastwards to Wallace Avenue, Heene Road and Shelley Road over the following six weeks.

More than 40 cycle stands will also be provided at Goring Road's two main shopping areas.

Work will take place outside of the main traffic periods to keep disruption to a minimum, but road users are asked to expect some delays.

The Worthing to Goring cycle route is a partnership scheme between West Sussex County Council and Worthing Borough Council.

The project aims to improve conditions for cyclists through one of the town's most popular cycle corridors. The first phase of the work will cost about £26,500.

Work on the second stage of the improvements along this route are due to start later this year.
