The improvements were made as part of the Future High Streets Fund, a Government scheme to renew and reshape town centres and high streets in a way that drives growth, improves experience and ensures future sustainability.
We reported in April that work was underway as part of the renovations.
Phase 2 of the Future High Streets Fund consisted of revamping Trinity Street and St Swithin's Street.
A temporary taxi rank was available on Queen's Street for five weeks during the work.
Contractors first began the revamp works on January 17, with plans to revitalise the area around Angel Street first unveiled by Worcestershire County Council and Worcester City Council in December 2021.
Worcester’s historic Scala Theatre will be converted into a new arts venue and the former Co-op building on Angel Street will undergo a major and transformation.
