It is hoped the opening of a £1m cycle path will help bring an area of Nottinghamshire on par with Holland. The new route for cyclists has been completed in West Bridgford and will eventually link to a £9m bridge over the River Trent.
Holland is noted for its world-class cycling infrastructure, with more than 37,000 kilometres of cycle paths. One such route stretches across the Dutch coastline for more than 600km.
The new cycle route has been built in Regatta Way and links the A6011 Radcliffe Road to Adbolton Lane. Nottinghamshire County Council says it allows cyclists to be better connected to facilities at Holme Pierrepont Country Park as well as other cycle routes in the wider area.
