People told to keep moving as highway improvements start at Burnt Tree Junction

Highway improvement works are set to begin at Burnt Tree Junction in Dudley, in the West Midlands, on Monday 10 November 2025 until summer 2026.

This project is part of a larger scheme to improve the operation of the junction and will include the creation of new crossing points to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. During the works traffic restrictions will be in place including temporary traffic signals and lane restrictions in both directions.

In addition, bus delays may be more noticeable for those travelling from Dudley, West Bromwich, Oldbury and Great Bridge. A large investment programme is taking place in the borough of Dudley.

A number of key projects have already been completed with construction for further projects in the town centre and surrounding areas taking place alongside each other over the next couple of years. MMA Tram construction activity will continue throughout 2025 and the old Dudley bus station site is undergoing a significant redevelopment to become the modern and sustainable Dudley Bus Interchange.

Highway works are also taking place at Burnt Tree Junction to improve bus journey times and help those walking and cycling around the main roads in this area. People are told to plan ahead and allow more time for journeys.
