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.

There will be works on both sides of the carriageway over 2 weekends during the Easter holidays (Saturday 19 - Sunday 20 April and Friday 25 - Saturday 27 April).

Traffic will still be able to run on one lane either side of the carriageway of Lode Lane but there will be no right turn into the JLR site and Dovehouse Lane. A signed diversion will be in place for the right turn closure.

Further works will continue in this area from 28 April for up to 10 weeks, maintaining one lane in the direction of Solihull and with a right turn maintained into the JLR site.

Hobs Moat Road 

From Tuesday 22 April to Sunday 27 April there will be a southbound lane closure on Hobs Moat Road. A Signed diversion for motorists will be in place via Old Lode Lane and bus service 72 towards Solihull will be re-routed via A4 and Melton Avenue.

Below is a map of the area of works.
