The final fig fell in Laman Street today, and Newcastle City Council says the road will be open to traffic again by the end of the month.
The final section of the green canopy was removed about midday, marking the end of a two-year debate about the future of the street.
According to the council, the 14 tree stumps will remain in the ground until work to rehabilitate the road begins.
In the meantime, work will focus on cleaning the street so it can be opened to traffic and the fences through Civic Park can be removed.
The city’s library and art gallery will both be open to the public tomorrow.
