More than £2 million to bust congestion on Black Country roads
More than £2 million we be spent on reducing congestion in the Black Country as part of a wave of improvements across the region.
The £5.84m programme is underway after being approved by the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) following funding from the National Productivity Investment Fund.
The schemes include £660,000 around Merry Hill in Brierley Hill, £273,000 for the A34 Birmingham Road/A4041 Queslett Road and Newtown Road in Sandwell, £960,000 on the A461 in Walsall, and £500,000 for traffic signal upgrades and bus priority programmes on the A4124 in Wolverhampton.
The money is the authority's share of a £210m national pot set up by the government last year towards improving transport networks.
