Bebside to Town Centre Cycling and Walking Corridor

The Bebside to Town Centre Corridor project will be a new walking and cycling infrastructure scheme connecting the new passenger rail service at Blyth Bebside Station to the town centre, key employment sites and residential areas in the north of the town, namely Kitty Brewster, Cowpen and, Croft wards.

The project seeks to transform travel behaviour and connectivity in the town and enhance links with Newcastle and the wider North East labour market.   

The proposed corridor travels along the A193 Cowpen Road between the town centre in the east and the proposed Blyth Bebside station in the west.  

The project will involve a mixture of traffic calming, road safety measures and segregation to give pedestrians and cyclists better protection from motor vehicles and encourage modal shift. The project is anticipated to be delivered over a three-year period, 2022-2025.
