MAINTAINING AND CREATING SAFE WALK WAYS AND CYCLE WAYS ACROSS THE NORTH WEST
At Dowhigh Ltd, we are committed to creating and maintaining high-quality footpaths and cycleways that enhance safety, accessibility, and sustainability. Our extensive experience in civil engineering allows us to deliver projects that meet the needs of the communities we serve.
Key Footway / Cycleway Projects
Liverpool City Council – Everton Park Cycleway: As part of the Highways Investment Programme, Dowhigh completed significant enhancements to the Everton Park Cycleway. This project included the installation of new cycleways, footways, and upgraded street lighting. We also undertook extensive resurfacing work, tree management, and the construction of new drainage systems. These improvements have facilitated safer and more efficient travel for pedestrians and cyclists in the area, promoting active travel and enhancing the urban landscape.
Everton Park Place to Ride – Mini Roads: This unique project transformed a section of Everton Park into a mini-road network designed to teach young cyclists about road safety. The project included the installation of scaled-down road features, such as roundabouts, traffic signals, and crossings, providing a safe and engaging environment for children to learn cycling skills. This initiative not only supports active travel but also contributes to community education and engagement.
Formby Cycleway – A565 Formby Bypass: Dowhigh completed a major cycleway upgrade along the A565 Formby Bypass. This project involved constructing new cycleways, upgrading existing footpaths, and implementing safety measures such as new signage and road markings. The improvements have significantly enhanced the safety and usability of the cycleway, encouraging more people to choose cycling as a mode of transport. This project underscores our commitment to promoting sustainable and active travel options.
