Start date for new bike lane on Leopold Street in Sheffield city centre
The road will become one-way for traffic to make room for a cycle lane and more space for outdoor seating for restaurants and cafes
Sheffield City Council has announced when work is due to start on a new bike lane and landscaping in the city centre.
The transformation of Leopold Street is expected to start in spring 2027, the authority says.
The road will become one-way for traffic to make room for a cycle lane and more space for outdoor seating for restaurants and cafes.
There will also be better pedestrian crossings the council says, with the aim of making it “even easier for people to move around.”
The junction of Church, West, Leopold and Townhead streets will be remodelled to include a cycle crossing across the junction.
The new bike lane will link up with new cycling infrastructure under construction in the city centre.
Works are currently underway on Surrey, Pinstone and Charles streets, Arundel Gate, Charter Row, Furnival Road and Attercliffe Road.
More are planned on Castle Street, in Burngreave and in Nether Edge, under the Connecting Sheffield transport scheme.
