Transport for London (TfL) has reached a 'key' milestone with its Cycleway network now totalling more than 400km across the capital.

The milestone includes a 1km extension to the Cycleway 9 (C9) route in Hounslow from Kew Bridge to Brentford, connecting C9 to C40.

Last week, TfL published new data which shows that road fatalities have reduced by 30 per cent in London compared to seven per cent for the rest of Great Britain.

Improvements in infrastructure, including new Cycleways, are key to further reducing danger on the capital's roads, the transport network believes.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "London's rapidly expanding cycle network is helping people get from A to B safely and sustainably, and is enabling hundreds more Londoners to try cycling.

"I'm delighted that these recent improvements mean Londoners living and working across our city – from Hounslow to Camden, Redbridge to Waltham Forest - will now benefit from new Cycleways."

The newly created or upgraded Cycleways include new sections of protected Cycleway on busier roads, as well as sections delivered on quieter residential streets, with clear signage to make navigation easier.

"These high-quality cycling networks bring a range of benefits to local communities, and we are continuing to work closely with boroughs and invest in further active travel schemes. We look forward to continuing our work to enable Londoners easy access to our cycle network."
