Devon County Council has approved the delivery of a 1.5 kilometre second phase section of the Exeter to Cranbrook shared use path.
Work on the the first phase of the path began last year as part of the construction of the new Clyst Meadows Country Park.
When completed, the two-phase section will link an existing cycle path that runs through the Tithebarn and Mosshayne developments near Exeter Science Park to a further section which is due to be delivered by the developers of the Blue Hayes housing estate in Cranbrook.
The newly-approved second phase section is expected to cost £4.2 million, £1.35 million of which will be funded by Active Travel England and £1.8 million by Community Infrastructure Levy payments.
