In September 2016, Amey contractors ripped out cobblestones on Cornish Street, in the industrial conservation area of Kelham Island, as part of the Streets Ahead contract with the city council.
However, a businessman complained the decision was "short-sighted" and the work was put on hold, leaving broken cobbles strewn across the road.
Cobbles have been cut in half and historic paving stones smashed and left in a pile.
Two years later, the road is still blocking residents and workers from nearby offices and homes.
Councillor Douglas Johnson said he had raised the issue with Amey.
"There's been very poor progress. We can't say there's been none, but it's such a stop-start process that, as a result, the road is still closed off," said councillor Johnson.
Nick Hetherington, network account manager at Amey, apologised for the delays and said the firm had recently made some progress.
