Construction on missing links in Sydney's chain of cycling routes, which allow cyclists to cross the city from north to south and east to west without mixing with traffic, will begin within weeks.

On Monday, the City of Sydney council endorsed its cycling strategy, which prioritises connecting the bike network to make Sydney safer to ride and ease congestion on public transport.

The plan outlines the council's ambition to finish the network's 11 main corridors that bring people into the city centre within 12 years.
