Changes to work areas from 9 November 2026

Work Waingate and Haymarket is progressing well as we continue to make more space for people through our Connecting Sheffield: Castle Street project. We will move into the next phase of work on Monday 9 November.

Works on Waingate

What is happening?

We have removed the splitter island on Waingate, and we will remove the temporary traffic lights in the evening on Friday 6 November. The road layout will be the same as it was before we started work for a period of time. Please be aware though that the lanes will be slightly narrower.

During this next phase, we will restore the pedstrian crossing so people can get to bus stops and shopping areas more easily.

The taxi rank on Castle Street willl close from Monday 9 November. Notices on street will point to the nearest ranks, and we will provide a permanent replacement on Haymarket in early 2027 when construction is complete in this area.

We will begin to work on replacing the pavements and kerbing, which will make walking and wheeling in the area easier and safer. We will focus this work on either side of Waingate, and at the end of Exchange Street. We will also work along the length of the north side of Castle Street, between the police station and the Old Town Hall.

We will also need to close Castle Green for a short period during this phase of work so we can repave across the junction with Castle Street. When this closure is in place, we will suspend parking along Castle Green. This is to make sure nobody is blocked in by our works. We will advertise on-street when we expect the closure to take place.

What does this mean for buses?

On Castle Street we will remove bus stop CG10, outside the New Trawler's Catch, permanently. The services that use this stop will move to other nearby stops.

We will remove the CG19 bus shelter from Waingate during this phase. In 2027, we will add a new stop and shelter on Haymarket to replace it.

So we can work at the end of Exchange Street, we will need to temporarily suspend bus stop CG20 on Haymarket.

There will be notices on the affected stops, and you can get the latest public transport information on the Travel South Yorkshire website.

We will keep this page up to date as work progresses.
