2012 Velopark Plans Unveiled
Design plans for the new VeloPark, home of the cycling events for the London 2012 Olympics, have been unveiled.
The VeloPark will include a 6,000-seat velodrome to host the cycling events as well as a BMX circuit.
After the Games, a road cycle circuit and mountain bike course will be added, so the park can be used by everyone.
A planning application will be submitted later this month with construction work due to start in 2009.
The VeloPark designs have been developed following consultation with British Cycling and local cycling groups.
After the Games, the park will be linked into cycle routes across London, connecting the whole of the city with the new facilities.
The launch of the latest plans for the London 2012 VeloPark follows the opening of the Redbridge Cycling Centre last month.
The £4.5m facility was built by the London Development Agency (LDA) for community and competition use to replace the former Eastway Cycle Circuit which made way for the site of the London 2012 VeloPark.
