Cycle signals will replace a section of a bus lane in Hull as part of a new scheme.
Hull City Council said the final 30m (98ft) of the northbound bus lane on Ferensway would be altered as a late phase in the Freetown Way scheme, which involved footpaths being widened to create off-road cycle lanes.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo, the portfolio holder for transport, said the scheme was “designed to help people travel across the city, whether by bike, car or on foot”.
A contractor should be appointed by late October so that work can start on the site before the end of the year, the authority said.
The section of the bus lane being removed would make way for new cycle signals that would be installed at the junctions with Beverley Road, Wright Street, Charles Street, Caroline Street and George Street.
The scheme is being funded by Active Travel England.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Ieronimo said the scheme was a “significant investment in one of Hull’s busiest routes”.
