The new 2.5km-long cycleway extension will link the southeast London areas of Greenwich and Woolwich with one continuous, segregated route, meaning no more swerving through traffic or being forced to ride dangerously close to cars. When complete, it'll mean that cyclists will be able to pedal all the way from Woolwich to Tower Bridge. It's also expected to cut cycling journey times - it currently takes just under half an hour to bike between Greenwich Station and Woolwich Station.
