Infinity Park

Infinity Park, currently under construction on the South side of Derby, between Sinfin and Chellaston, is a 100 acre technology business park which will attract many high tech firms to the area, providing around 8,000 jobs.
One essential requirement will be good transport links, especially by road, and the site is less than a mile from the A50 trunk road which runs between the M1 and the M6.  Also for the benefit of local people who will work in the park, good cycle access is essential. Both these requirements are to be met by the new road running from Wilmore Road at Sinfin to the Bonnie Prince roundabout on the A50 between Chellaston and Swarkestone.
Two of our local cycle routes are already nearby.  NCN Route 6 runs all the way from Derby City and is almost entirely off road, whilst NCN 66, the Derby Orbital Route links to Sinfin, Littleover and Mickleover.
The new spinal road, Infinity Park Way, will cross both of the existing cycle paths and good provision is being made with Toucan crossings, and the whole 1.25 mile length has good off road paths on both sides.
Much work yet to be done, but you can see that good provision is being made for cyclists.

                                                     Generous width cycle paths.

                                              Good run-off ramps ahead of roundabouts.

                                                   Good signing already in place.

                                                     Plenty of room for cyclists.

                                         This is the Innovation Centre building.

                            Alongside the existing pylons, lots of saplings have been planted.

                                                            Another Toucan crossing.

                       Junction with Wilmore Road.  Rolls-Royce aero engine test beds ahead.

It will look rather different in the months to come.
