Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) is paying to reinstate the road after government funding was originally used to install the lanes.
The work will start on August 26th.
Mayor Cooke said: “After listening to businesses and residents I pledged the cycle lane would go. The work will start next month and TVCA will pay for every penny. That is absolutely the right end result.
“We do want to encourage more people to cycle and walk, but future schemes have to be in the right place and learn the lessons from this saga.”
Work on the project was completed in September 2022 after Middlesbrough Council received £1.7m in government funding through the TVCA to encourage active travel.
Mayor Cooke and his Executive voted in February this year to remove the lanes following complaints from users of the road. All the legal work with the appointed contractor has now been signed off.
As set out in the public consultation carried out by TVCA, certain elements of the scheme will remain on safety grounds.
These includes the road closures at Victoria Road, next to the Swatters Carr pub, and at the King Edward’s Square university accommodation.
Residents and businesses that will be affected by the works will receive full information in due course.
