On Christmas Eve the link from Mousehold to Barrack Street opened, this is one of the final Pedalways 1 projects to be built.

The route connects with the shared use path on Gurney Road that goes across the top of Mousehold Heath and joins with the recently improved and lit Valley Drive to Heartease. The new path connects Mousehold Heath to Gilders Way and provides one route in to the city via the Jarrold Bridge.

The new section of path is approximately 3m wide with lighting.
