Dudley

A large investment programme is taking place in the borough of Dudley.

A number of key projects are now nearing completion in Dudley town centre with construction activity continuing to take place in surrounding areas over the next couple of years.

Track installation has progressed considerably on the Wednesbury to Dudley tram extension this year and testing and driver training will be taking place shortly.

The Midland Metro Alliance team are continuing to construct the further extension of the line around the town and out to Merry Hill with works on Duncan Edwards Way and along the Embankment and by the Waterfront. .

The new Dudley Bus Interchange is also in the final stages of construction and will open towards the end of 2026.

In preparation for the opening of the new bus station, works on the highway to provide integrated transport links are scheduled for Autumn 2026.

These works include improvements to cycling ways and pedestrian access.

For further information on the Bus Interchange works please visit Dudley Interchange. 

As part of the ongoing construction of Phase Two of the Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension, there will be a lane closure northbound towards Castlegate from Monday 10 August for 6 weeks.

There will be a reduced speed limit in this area to 30 miles per hour.
