Visit the Transport for West Midlands website for any major travel disruption updates. 

We are working closely with Transport for West Midlands while the works to regenerate Dudley town centre take place.

They have advice on how to plan ahead and avoid disruption to your journey. 

 

Their website will be updated with the latest travel advice as each section of the works takes place and will include information for car drivers and the local bus network so remember to check back often.

Essential construction work for the new Dudley Interchange

Demolition of the Farmfoods building and the remainder of the old bus station will begin on Monday June 10 2024. This is expected to last for up to 10 weeksExcavation and updating of the drainage system to prepare for the construction of the new interchange building will then follow. 

 

Restrictions will be in place for the duration of these works which may cause some localised traffic disruption.

Access to properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.

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.

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.

Traffic Restrictions on Birmingham New Road
Following the successful installation of the new Hanson's Ale Bridge in June 2024, an additional set of traffic restrictions are needed for a localised section of the Birmingham New Road in the coming week. The restrictions are necessary to enable the safe completion of some finishing activity.


From the early hours of Monday 12 August until and including Sunday 18 August, the Wolverhampton- bound traffic lane will close to vehicular traffic, with the Birmingham-bound traffic flowing normally.


For Wolverhampton-bound journeys, a clearly signed vehicular diversion route will be in place. Please note, due to the location and nature of the closure and restriction, pedestrians may experience a significant detour.
