Work to complete the cycling link between Luton and Harpenden along the Lea Valley Walk starts this July.

The footpath here is now part of National Cycle Route 6 pioneered by Sustrans and backed by the Big Lottery Fund.

There is expected to be a slight realignment of the Walk at East Hyde but the cycleway and Walk will separate at Batford.

Sustrans has already installed the bridge over Lower Harpenden Road.
