Improvements to traffic management in Dudley town centre
Dudley Bus Station is currently being replaced with a modern and efficient new transport interchange that will link bus services with the town's Metro terminus.
To improve bus operations and reduce congestion while this work is taking place, Priory Road and New Street from Ednam Road to Tower Street will be made one way from Saturday 13 July 2024.
The one-way order on Tower Street from Stone Street to New Street will be reversed and you will have to travel from New Street to Stone Street. This will also come into force on 13 July. Stone Street will also become one way from Tower Street to Priory Street on 13 July. These temporary arrangements will remain in place until the new bus interchange has been opened and buses are relocated from Tower Street.
Metro utility diversions and upgrades in Level Street (Brierley Hill)
From Monday 28 April 2026 until approximately late-June, preparatory work for phase two of the Wednesbury to Brierley
Hill Metro extension will be undertaken in Level Street.
During this phase the outside lane of the roundabout will be closed, with all feeder lanes restricted accordingly. This is to allow the team from Cadent Gas to work safely and continue to relocate one of their mains pipes at Level Street roundabout
Though all access routes at the island will remain open, the work may lead to higher than usual traffic in the area. As such, we are asking you to please plan your journeys accordingly and remember when visiting Merry Hill, which remains open as usual, to try and use one of the other routes, such as access or egress via The Boulevard or Pedmore Road or consider travelling by public transport instead.
