Arras Square in Ipswich is being redeveloped to create a more welcoming and pedestrian-friendly space, with construction led by Brooks & Wood Ltd since June this year.
The project aims to improve accessibility and public amenities.
Councillor Neil MacDonald, Leader of Ipswich Borough Council said: “It is fantastic to see work progressing so well in Arras Square.
"These improvements will significantly enhance the area, creating a safer, more accessible and attractive public space for residents, businesses and visitors.
“As well as improving the look and feel of the Square, the project celebrates Ipswich's unique heritage and longstanding connection with Arras.
"We look forward to seeing the transformation completed later this year.”
Construction is being delivered in four overlapping phases to maintain pedestrian access throughout.

Phase one has included site clearance, excavation, and installation of drainage and lighting ducting.
A new amphitheatre and disabled access ramp are also under construction.
Once finished, the revitalised space will feature new paving, seating, lighting, bins, trees, and an information board with a French post box, reflecting Ipswich's long-standing connection with its twin town, Arras.
Demountable bollards will also be installed on St Stephen's Lane.
The project is expected to be completed by Christmas 2026.
