Dudley Interchange

Our Dudley Interchange Highway Works Scheme reached a significant milestone recently.

The end of October saw the completion of the 3-week construction and installation of a King Post Retaining Wall that will sit between the newly extended Midland Metro line and the new car park we are providing as part of the scheme at the top of Bourne Street.

We worked closely with scheme designers at Dudley Council, providing constructability advice to inform the design. Construction involved piling works and a week for the installation of the in-fill concrete panels. We then opened-up the rear of the retaining wall, allowing the contractors delivering the Metro line extension to progress their works and for us to move forward with the car park construction.

The Retaining Wall is part of our highway works that are being delivered under the Black Country Framework, building on our collaborative and long-established relationship with Dudley Council.

More broadly, we are delighted that the works are playing a crucial role in the provision of the new Dudley Interchange, a transport hub that will allow passengers to switch seamlessly between bus services and the Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Midland Metro extension. The new interchange is being badged as a key part of the regeneration of Dudley Town Centre. Our works are due to complete in January, with Dudley Interchange set to open in 2025.
