The route starts at the Tower Bridge, then follows the north bank of the River Thames heading eastwards, to Wapping, Limehouse, Westferry, Poplar and Blackwall. Then it passes the Royal Victoria Docks to head via an off-road route towards the A13.[1] It then joins the Cycle Superhighway 3 beside the A13 to head to Rainham, Greater London. On the Thurrock side, some small sections of National Cycle Network Route 13 are open, but this is mainly a work in progress. The current highlights of the route are Grays Riverside, Rainham Marshes Nature Reserve and the recently completed surfacing of the Mardyke Way (following the Mardyke (river)) between Ship Lane and Stifford Bridge. The riverside paths on both sides of the river are spectacular walking routes, but they are not currently open to cyclists (with a few exceptions).[2] {{Expand section|date=June 2008}}Chelmsford to Bury St EdmundsChelmsford | Colchester | Sudbury | Lavenham | Bury St Edmunds | This section of the route is under development.
