The scheme involves carrying out improvements to the town centre's bus station on behalf of South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) and work is now underway.
Features include installing new lighting, glazing, seating, flooring, CCTV and Passenger Information Displays. In addition, the project will also involve repairs and upgrades to the car park including new cladding, surfacing, the provision of larger spaces for modern cars, electric vehicle charging points as well as improved pedestrian routes.

The works are a key part of the Rotherham Town Centre Masterplan, which aims to regenerate the town centre area and providing sustainable transport.
SYPTE's Director of Customer Services, Tim Taylor, said: "We're delighted to be starting the Rotherham Interchange refurbishment. We're looking forward to working with Interserve and we're confident that together we'll deliver an improved interchange, which will result in a better experience for our customers."
John Gittins, Divisional Director at Interserve, added: "We are looking forward to building a long-term relationship with the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive as it continues to invest in its facilities to improve the passenger experience.
"At Interserve we are committed to investing in the communities in which we live and work; and we will look to maximise local supply chain involvement as well as creating new jobs for local people."
