Soon the roadblocks will be lifted from the cycle lanes built as part of the York Station Gateway project.
Last month, cycle campaigners voiced their frustration over the brand new bike lanes staying shut weeks after being finished.
At the time, City of York Council said there were still ongoing works delaying the opening.
These have now been completed, and the lanes will open to all on Monday morning (28 September).
Just one section will stay temporarily closed – see below.
It comes as final road markings are complete and street lighting has been installed. The installation of new signs is being completed this week.
Councillor Kate Ravilious, executive member for transport, said: “This is a fantastic milestone for everyone who travels in and around York Station and a positive change for the city and everyone who uses the area.
“The new routes bring new and improved ways for people travelling to work, catching a train, visiting the city or simply travelling across the city.
“It has been great in recent weeks to see more and more people benefitting from the changes around the station with new public spaces, better views of the city walls and more places for people to stop and spend time.
“It’s great that we can now open these routes and help more people choose cycling for everyday journeys.”
From Monday, the vast majority of the new cycle routes and pavements around the station will be open to use.
But one short section on the station side of the road is due to be completed at a later date.
This is because of the planned relocation of an existing substation, after which the continuous cycle lane can be completed.
Until then, cyclists travelling from Blossom Street to Station Rise will need to rejoin the road when travelling between the York RI building and the station portico to continue their journey.
Those travelling to the station will have the option to access some of the station cycle parking near platform 2 and Lowther Terrace without rejoining Station Road.
All cycle routes on the city walls side will be fully open.
Originally budgeted at £26 million, the cost of the York Station Gateway scheme has spiralled past £60m – and the work on the final phase of the work won’t be finished until 2029.
