Construction of Cycleways on Ewell Road (Surbiton to Tolworth route) and Kingston Road (Kingston to New Malden route) have been making good progress in 2026! Since our last post at the end of 2025, a large section of the final Ewell Road section has been completed (from Red Lion Road to Worthington Road) featuring:

• a new parallel crossing (for those walking and cycling);
• an upgrade of a signalled pedestrian crossing to a toucan crossing (so now usable for those cycling too); and
• the addition of around 400m of kerb separated cycle tracks in both directions.

The works on Kingston Road are more complex and will continue through to early 2027 (construction phase details here). So far around 200m of kerb separated cycle track have been added in the Kingston direction and around 300m in the New Malden direction. Works continue to complete signage and ‘snagging’ on constructed sections with parking enforcement soon to take place to stop people parking their cars on the new Cycleway!

Works still to be undertaken on the Kingston to New Malden route include the junction of Cambridge Road and Hawk’s Road which is currently very difficult and unsafe for people on bikes to use. The changes to this junction will make it easier for people to cross on foot too.

We’re also working with the Council to improve sections already completed. If you have any feedback, please let us know!

What comes next?

Works on both schemes will continue for the rest of the year. On Ewell Road, this will include the upgrade of the junction with Elgar and Princes Avenues as well as the section around Kingsdowne/Ditton Road junctions (which should feature separate traffic signals for those cycling).

We continue to campaign for Cycleways to extend to other parts of the Borough. Help us by asking the next Council leader to commit to providing safe cycling routes elsewhere in the Borough – just click here and email them now!
