Work to construct Phase 1A from the existing northern end of the cycle route at New Lane, direct into Havant Station forecourt started on Monday 28th July 2003 and was substantially completed by the end of September. This work was carried out in partnership between Hampshire County Council, South West Trains, Network Rail and Havant Borough Council. Design was by RKG Consultants, and construction by Caroway Construction.

 

The work involved a new crossing of New Lane with a set of replica railway crossing gates to match those already installed on the east side of New Lane in Phase 1; a dedicated route across the South West Trains car park as far as the forecourt entrance; and additional car parking in the car park to compensate for loss of parking due to the installation of Phases 1A and 1B (Phase 1B being the completion of the route from the car park exit across the forecourt to a dedicated cycle parking facility).
