Project Details
What is the project about?
Birmingham City Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, and Centro (the West Midlands transport authority) are currently working in partnership to improve the A41 Warwick Road route. The project aims to:
- Make travel easier along the Warwick Road for all types of vehicle and for pedestrians,
- Improve the local environment for residents and businesses, and
- Look at how rail can be better integrated with the route.
The Project Route
The route follows the Warwick Road starting at its junction with Stratford Road in Sparkbrook, Birmingham and running all the way to Lode Lane in Solihull. It passes through the local centres of Tyseley, Acocks Green, Olton and Dovehouse Parade.
In addition to the Warwick Road, the study considers the impact that surrounding areas have on the travel and activities along the route. This means we are also looking at the stations and railway lines (both the Shirley Line and the Solihull Line) close to the route and also at cycling facilities along the route and in the surrounding area.
Here is a map of the project area which shows the extent and the main features of the route being studied.
