A major refurbishment in Prestongate, Hessle is to get underway in October.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council will spend £700,000 replacing the existing paving with new stonework in the shopping area.
Work is due to begin on Monday 6 October and is scheduled to finish by March.
The project, which has been funded by the Hull and East Yorkshire Devolution deal, will involve transforming the current patchwork of block paving, flagstones and concrete surfacing with new stone paving.
New street furniture and planters will also be installed.
The council carried out consultations with the traders, shoppers and Hessle Town Council to shape the project.
Councillor Paul West, the council’s cabinet member for environment and transport, said: “There have been long-standing concerns about the street’s appearance and safety, following years of patching in the paving left by repairs and work by utility companies, but our aim is to transform this area for the better.
“Our engineers have worked closely with town councillors, residents and shop owners to develop a design for Prestongate that reflects the needs of the community and enhances the look of the street.
“The response to the consultations we carried out was overwhelmingly positive.
“We have also worked closely with the contractor to phase the works in a way that minimises disruption to shoppers and businesses and maintains access for all.”
Pedestrians will have access to all shops throughout the work, although there will be some limits to vehicle access due to the nature of the construction. Some work will be carried out outside of business hours.
The scheme will be paused during December to support the festive trading period
The work will be carried out on behalf of the council by contractor PBS Construction (North East) Ltd.
