City Centre West to East Link

We’re building healthier, friendlier and more accessible places for cycling, walking, wheeling and improving public spaces on some of Edinburgh’s busiest streets.

Connecting Roseburn to Leith Walk, through the city centre, with a safe and direct cycle route will give more space to anyone walking, wheeling or cycling, as well as linking key transport interchanges, businesses, neighbourhoods and the existing off-road cycle network.

Members of the community, local schools and stakeholder organisations came together to celebrate the completion of the CCWEL on 20 March 2024. Now that the cycleway is open, we are continuing with the planned public realm work at Melville Crescent.
