History: The final venue in the Olympic Park to be built — it was started in March 2011 and finished in time for a test event in the summer — the track forms part of the Velopark with the adjoining Velodrome, replacing the old Eastway Cycle Circuit. The men's circuit measures 470 metres and the women's 430m, with the men's including a banked corner, jumps and an S-bend transfer, while the women's features three jumps in the opening straight and a tunnel. Both have an eight-metre high starting ramp. Around 14,000 cubic metres of soil was required for the track, which will be redesigned after the Games. The temporary seating will be taken down and the venue will be adapted for use by the local community under the auspices of Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, with a new mountain-bike track and a one-mile, road-cycle circuit being added.
