Work on the next phase of the West Midlands Metro extension in the Black Country is set to start in January following Government approval.
This £261m section will extend the line from Flood Street in Dudley town centre to Merry Hill Shopping Centre calling at Cinder Bank, Pedmore Road and the Waterfront business park on the way.
Construction can start following the confirmation of Government funding announced in the October budget, through the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS), and business case approval from the Department for Transport.

The project is being led by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), which is part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) to offer more people and businesses in the Black Country access to rapid and convenient transport services and to support economic growth along the route.
The WMCA Board is set to give the green light to the project when it meets on Friday, 15th November.
