Sprint
A45 Works
Ends: Ongoing
Last updated: 2 June 2026
What’s happening?
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.
A45 Works
Improvement works on bus infrastructure and shelters are continuing in a phased approach along the A45.
One lane on the carriageway into Birmingham will remain closed until 17 June 2026 while finishing works take place on the highway and footway.
A lane closure is scheduled to return in August 2026.
