The road was closed for three weeks following the January 26 explosion, which injured two people and caused serious damage to the building that has stood since 1863.
The road was due to re-open last Wednesday, however due to an issue with the supply of a specialist propping material to support the restaurant’s front facade, the closure was extended.
That closure came to an end this morning(Monday), as the Council announced that the road had reopened to traffic.
