Backhill Tunnel Now Open

If anyone can please add a map to illustrate the article, showing the locations of the new tunnel as well as the planned cycle routes referred to (including the existing unused bridge and the planned new bridge), that would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

This is the Backhill Tunnel I believe:

From the article it sounds like their next planned step is to add a crossing across the A4130 to connect it to the shared cycle lane on the other side of the road. I didn’t get an impression on how that might eventually connect it to the campus if the intention is to avoid the Milton Interchange.

Hi

I used it on Monday and this evening. Good tunnel and helpful on the Milton Park side. I was coming form the Didcot direction on the link road cycle path. It is quite hard to get across the link road at rush hour!
