It's less than 24 hours until stage 4 of the Women's Tour gets underway.
The world-renownedd event is coming to Southend tomorrow and is expect to draw large crowds.
Racers will set off from East Beach in Shoebury from 11am and go on a 117km circuit through Rochford and Maldon, before heading back into Southend and finishing along the seafront in Westcliff near to Arches Cafe.
The race is due to finish around 2pm and a rolling roadblock will be in place throughout to keep riders safe.
However, Southend Council has announced more than a dozen roads across the borough will be closed for longer periods due to the event.
Residents and visitors are being asked not to park on 15 roads affected by the sloure after 5pm today.
That's despite the road closures not coming into force until 4am tomorrow - seven hours before the race starts.
