A nice replacement bridge over the River Colne, but a pity about the tactiles being the wrong type. The sign reads "Please give way to pedestrians on bridge".
A priority crossing for NCN1 over the road to the overflow carpark, but the alignment could be better.
A narrow line-segregated cycleway alongside the Westway. I wonder if the designer thinks it is possible to pass someone coming the other way without crossing the white line. But no-one is likely to get into trouble for doing so.
An attempt has been made to brighten up this narrow passageway under the railway, but no-one has come back to keep it in good order.
Compacted gravel (although top surface is still rather loose) has been added atop the resurfaced section of shared-use pathway through High Woods Country Park. See also #70739.
Hilly Fields Access point from Sheepen Road end. Barriers have been changed & now easier to get through tho still a struggle with the uphill climb. Shame they didnt do other end as shown in http://cycle.st/p52280
Nice wide shared-use pavement giving good permeability between St Leonard's Road and the new housing estate of Lenz Close and Peache Road.
Cycling is now permitted in Lower Castle Park, so long as cyclists stay between the green lines. The cycling prohibited signs have been relocated (see #36150), and new painted signs layed.
Shared use pathway following the trajectory of the old Boundary Road, with the new A133 junction in the background.
Shared use paths either side of the this new road between the A133 and the University of Essex. The left side follows the trajectory of the old Boundary Road, while the right side leads to the new A133 crossing and onto Greenstead.
Construction of a shared use pathway between the Riverside Quarter and East Street has some way to go yet.
This will be the access from Cowdray Avenue to a shared use pathway between the Riverside Quarter and East Street.
New shared use pathway alongside the A133 which connects Salary Brook (#34305) to the new junction with the University Boundary Rd.
New pathway (see also #34305) from Salary Brook leading up to a new shared use path alongside the A133 (see #34306), which leads to a new at level junction with the University Boundary Rd. This should save a great deal of students from … [more]

Repaved section of the Salary Brook/University route, but only as far as the boardwalk (see #34303).
Months after the new Crouch St cycle lane was installed it is being ripped up for alterations after a petition from local traders.
Useful link between Parsons Heath and Bromley Road. Access off Parsons Heath by the Parsons Heath Medical Practice.
Useful link between Bromley Road and Parsons Heath. Access off Bromley Road by the Bromley Road Dental Surgery.
The path between Cowdray Avenue and Clarendon Way has been relayed, an awkward chicane removed, and the restriction on cycling lifted (although it is unsigned but marked on the latest Cycle Colchester town map).
Bridge and signage on the new shared use path between Westway and Essex Hall Road, and eventually North Station.
The pathway's between Harwich Road and Lime Avenue have been widened (see #20809) and 'Share the Space' bollard installed (missing its sticker). It still suffers from the access being at a bus stop, which may be why no drop kerb has been … [more]
One of two paths between Lime Avenue and Harwich Road that has been widened (see also #30913) and 'Share the Space' bollard installed (missing its sticker).
One of two paths between Lime Avenue and Harwich Road to have been widened (see #20790 and #30914) and 'Share the Space' bollard installed.
The path between Sallary Brook and Avon Way is marked as a direct line on the latest Cycle Colchester town map... the reality is somewhat different. See also #30909 and #30911.

The cycle path alongside Circular Road North has had drop kerbs added to it and a large vehicle-sized section paved beyond it, dissecting the path. According to the contractors this is not a road but an emergency access. It is frustrating … [more]

This folly links North Station (on the right) and Essex Hall Road, and with some work could provide a much improved route for South/West bound cyclists.
What will be a shared-use path between Westway and a new development in Essex Hall Rd. It could go further however and form a link with North Station (see #30424).
There was a really awkward chicane here until it was thankfully removed, but after resurfacing a new one has been installed.
The height of Balkerne Hill footbridge has been increased. Hopefully this will make cycling legally possible.
The new Layer Rd. toucan crossing has been installed, but not yet operational. Once it is, crossing this busy road will be much improved.
Hawkins Wharf leads to a pleasant riverside walk (see #27333), Hythe Quay, and currently Colne Causeway.
Cut-through between Norman Way and its lay-by (leading to the Shrub End Road crossing, see #27321). Useful for those cycling to/from The Commons. Either side of the bollard is rather narrow, and there seems no reason for it to be. The … [more]
Widened shared path on Boadicea Way. Note the crossing (see #27324) in the background with 'Cyclists Dismount' signs.
Lucy Lane North is a dead-end for motorists, but cyclists and pedestrians can continue to Lucy Lane South, the other side of the A12, via an underpass (see #27203 and #27204).
Lucy Lane South is a dead-end for motorists, but cyclists and pedestrians can continue to Lucy Lane North, the other side of the A12, via an underpass (see #27203 and #27204).
When the new Sainsbury's opens, this will likely be the most convenient route in for cyclists from London Road. It is strictly a footpath, and has some awkward 90 degree corners (see #27176) but it is the most direct entry to the store (and … [more]
The new path connecting Ypres Road to the Garrison network is open but awaiting the top layer. Not clear yet what is happening to the other path.
The path across King George Field has been resurfaced, and new bollards with Cycle Colchester's 'Share the Space' campaign stickers installed. Note the space to the left of the path, and tree to the right. Given that, why was the route … [more]
