It's soon going to be a lot easier to pedal your way along Essex County Road 50.
Bike lanes are being built along the busy stretch of road, just outside of Colchester.
For years, County Council has pushed for improvements on the road after an accident claimed the life of a 16-year-old in 2014.
The bike lanes are part of the overall master plan for the County Wide Active Transportation System, an 800-kilometre stretch of bike paths and trails linking the region.
