Councillors have agreed to move forward with multi-million-pound plans for a new south Cambridge busway.
The new busway is proposed as part of the Cambridge South East Transport Scheme (CSET) which will connect the Addenbrookes campus to the A11.
Cambridgeshire County Council has said it will put together an application for a Transport and Works Act Order (TWAO), asking for permission to build the busway.
However, some local residents have said the project will "wreck the countryside".
The CSET scheme was paused by the Greater Cambridge Partnership last year, after increases in construction costs meant it did not have enough money to fund all of its projects.
But, earlier this year the government announced it would provide £7.2million to start progressing the project again.
At a county council meeting on Tuesday 22 October 2024, 33 councillors voted to support the project, with 15 councillors voting against.
