Construction has started on a new off-road shared path beside the A619 at Tapton, which will form part of Route 5 of the Chesterfield Cycle Network.
Cyclists heading north along Brimington Road will be able to leave the carriageway just before its junction with the A619 and join a shared path which is being widened to 3 metres. It will continue up the hill, past the crematorium to the top side of the cemetery. A new toucan crossing will be installed to help cyclists cross the busy road and continue along Wikeley Way.
