Dear Councillor
Return to two-way traffic on A41 Bilston Road
We are delighted to announce the tram track replacement works are to complete on 2 December 2017. These works have been completed ahead of schedule and on budget by the Midland Metro Alliance, working on behalf of the West Midlands Combined Authority. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your constituents for your patience and understanding during this essential maintenance project.
The A41 Bilston Road will reopen to road traffic in both directions from on Saturday 2 December 2017.
At this time you may notice trams running from Priestfield to Wolverhampton St. George’s as a period of testing and commissioning is required for the newly installed tram track. Subject to these tests being successfully completed the tram service to Wolverhampton St. George’s will resume on Sunday 10 December.
Whilst our works along Bilston Road will be completing shortly, the Midland Metro Alliance will continue to work with the City of Wolverhampton Council into 2018 to support local businesses in the area where possible. This work focusses on advertisements across tram, bus and also in local magazines.
If you have any further questions or queries regarding the work of the Midland Metro Alliance, please email us at communications@metroalliance.co.uk or visit our website at www.metroalliance.co.uk.
