What’s happening?
Work is happening in Dudley to improve the town centre. During these works, the way you travel around the region will be different.
These works will happen in stages to minimise disruption, and will include:
- The Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension, which will see the first phase delivered to Dudley in autumn 2025.
- A new transport hub
- Redevelopment of the Portersfield area of Dudley town centre
- Road improvements
A4123 Birmingham New Road
Monday 13 January to Friday 24 January 2025
There will be a temporary lane closure on a localised section of the A4123 Birmingham New Road (near to Hanson's Ale Bridge) eastbound heading to Birmingham.
This is due to installation of new traffic signals and drainage.
Delays to journey times in this area are expected while the lane closure is in place.
Travel tips
You will still be able to get to where you need to go, but consider the following:
Use a different route. If you do have to use the car, check your route before you leave. Google Maps or a Sat-Nav with live traffic updates will help you pick the least congested route each time.
Use public transport wherever possible. This is to reduce congestion on key roads and junctions.
