The new street was part of the 1960s 'city in the sky' vision; with pedestrian walkways, Princess Square and Bewick Court flats, all built above the road.
Laing Art Gallery is located just off the street and in 2009 a new City Library building was opened on the corner of John Dobson Street and New Bridge Street.
In early 2017 John Dobson Street has recently been adapted to make it more cycle friendly.
