Overnight closures planned for new T-junction work
But four weeks of overnight closures will be needed for the Maid Marian Way regeneration project from 21 July.
As part of the £8.97m Nottingham City Council project, the Maid Marian Way island - which connected the road with Derby Road, Tollhouse Hill and Upper Parliament Street - was removed in autumn last year.
The final phase of work requires closures to allow resurfacing work to be carried out.
These will take place from Monday to Thursday from 22:00 to 06:00 BST, with diversions in place.
Work began in spring 2024, with officials saying the roundabout was "outdated" and a barrier to movement for pedestrians and cyclists around the city centre.
The new traffic signals on the junction went live in June.
As well as resurfacing work, contractor Thomas Bow is also still to install rainwater drainage channels and a rain garden, and to finish installing paving, benches and kerbs.
Teams will return in the winter to plant more than 40 trees.
A public artwork is also planned for the area.
City councillor for transport, Linda Woodings, said "the end is in sight" for the project.
She added: "To minimise disruption, these resurfacing works will be done overnight - thank you to the local businesses, residents and those who travel through the area for bearing with us."

Homeless charity closes following funding dispute
Homeless people face losing their accommodation in a town after a funding dispute between the charity which housed them and a council. West Northamptonshire Council said in a statement that Northampton Association for Accommodation for Single Homeless (NAASH), which supported accommodation for about 200 people, had closed. NAASH has said council funding has been held up because the authority has disputed the "validity" of housing benefit claims made on behalf of clients. The Reform UK-controlled council said the charity must "follow the guidelines" and said it was "taking steps to support" affected tenants. 'Homelessness risk' NAASH services director Theresa Kelly said the organisation supported "some of Northampton's most vulnerable people" after they were referred to them directly by the council. She said her team believed they had "fully complied" with housing benefit regulations. "This is not the first time essential services like NAASH have been forced out by West Northamptonshire Council's cost-cutting measures," said Ms Kelly. "Each closure leaves vulnerable people once again facing the very real risk of homelessness." NAASH, which has supported homeless people since 2000, is the landlord of several supported accommodation properties. It does not own its housing and mostly rents rooms in houses of multiple occupation. 'Acting proactively' The council said each tenant's case was being looked at individually so that "tailored support" could be offered. The authority said NAASH's closure followed a "long period of discussion and negotiation" relating to housing benefit claims. Charlie Hastie, the council's cabinet member for housing, said: "We are actively engaging with other providers to ensure there is support available to help residents through this difficult time. "We recognise the deep anxiety this situation causes for people with complex health and personal challenges. "We as a council have already made a commitment to reduce homelessness and its wider impact, and we are acting proactively to address this." The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), which administers housing benefit, previously said it could not comment on the case. "Local authorities decide if a customer is eligible for the benefit, applying DWP rules to ensure the right support is going to the right place," a spokesperson said.
