Work has begun on the upgrade of Dublin St.
The Wanganui Roading Alliance - a collaboration between Wanganui District Council and Downers - are working on Dublin St between Niblett St and Bell St.
Councillor Ray Stevens, chairman of the infrastructure and property committee, said the works would be finished in April.
The project included seven refuge islands in the middle of the street so pedestrians could cross safely, kerb extensions, renewal of the roadway, new footpaths, water mains and sewer laterals, and flush medians between the traffic lanes.
All parking on the western side of Dublin St from Burger King to the Shell service station will go.
