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.

Works on Lode Lane continue a lane closure in place Southbound towards Solihull by the Jaguar Landrover site.

A right turn into the JLR site will be maintained when the traffic management restrictions move across the carriageway.

Hob's Moat Road

Some overnight closures will take place for resurfacing works from 29 September, signed diversions for traffic will be in place throughout the works. 

A signed diversion for traffic will be in place around Old Lode Lane.

Bus service 72 towards Solihull will be re-routed from Sheaf Lane along the Coventry Road and Lyndon Road, then down Melton Avenue to re-join Hob’s Moat Road after the closure.
