The bus station redevelopment is part of the £14.3million St Margaret’s Gateway regeneration project.
This has been supported by a £10.5million allocation from the Getting Building Fund, a pot of government money awarded to the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP) for shovel-ready infrastructure projects to help create jobs and support economic recovery across the country.
National Express are to return to the new building from Tuesday 5 July.
Cllr Adam Clarke, said:
“The new St Margaret’s Bus Station represents an ambitious and important step forwards in our efforts to become a carbon-neutral city. We believe that this is the first net zero carbon bus station building in the UK."
