A38 Bristol Road Cycle Route Extension - Selly Oak to Longbridge
Overview
We are proposing a new 6km stretch of high-quality cycle route along the A38 Bristol Road, running between Selly Oak and Longbridge. This new link will extend the existing cycle route from Birmingham city centre to Selly Oak, creating a connected corridor all the way to Longbridge.
Once complete, the route will offer a safer, more accessible, and more attractive option for people travelling by bike.
This scheme is a part of Birmingham’s broader Transport Plan, which seeks to meet the demands of the future by prioritising people over cars. Find out more on the council website.
This project aims to
- Reduce dependency on private vehicles and increase active travel along the A38 corridor, by providing 6km of new cycle route.
- Provide a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists, with additional pedestrian and cycle crossings.
- Contribute to decarbonisation and improve the environment locally, supporting Birmingham’s commitment to becoming a carbon neutral city by 2030.

Please note: Most of the new cycle route will be in the central reservation. Cyclists will have priority across vehicle access gaps in the central reservation, and there will be changes to where vehicles can make turns.
