Sprint

Sprint is a bus priority corridor that will link Walsall with the centre of Birmingham, Solihull and Birmingham Airport - joining the A34 with the A45 to create one continuous bus route. 

Sprint will bring benefits for all bus passengers: providing more reliable, regular and predictable journey times, connecting our region and protecting our environment too.

A milestone project, Sprint is being delivered by Transport for West Midlands and forms part of the region-wide ambition to improve the public transport experience.

Lode Lane

Works are underway on the footway and cycleway which is closed on the southbound carriageway of Lode Lane between the JLR north and south gate. Pedestrians will be diverted to the northbound footway to continue their journey.

A lane closure of the southbound carriageway will be required intermittently for short periods to allow site access for vehicles.

Access to the JLR site will be maintained but journeys through any roadworks may take longer than usual.

Please allow more time for your journey or consider alternative routes.

Hobs Moat Road

Works are now underway with a lane closure in place on Hobs Moat Road (on approach to the A45) until the end of November 2024, leaving a single traffic lane in both directions. There are further works planned from November 2024 (details will be confirmed closer to the time).

Old Lode Lane bus stop is suspended until November 2024 with a temporary stop in place.
