Rowley Regis Connected

The Rowley Regis Connected project will generate a multi phased set of multi-modal infrastructure improvements to link transport (rail, bus) and employment hubs in Blackheath, Cradley Heath and Oldbury.

The Rowley Regis Connected project is part of the Rowley Regis Towns Fund Programme and will deliver new pedestrian and cycle routes including segregated cycle routes, resurface and widen footpaths, upgrade crossing facilities, introduce traffic calming, upgrade lighting, improve signage and road markings.

The project Full Business Case was approved by Government in March 2022. The project team have since undertaken a number of activities in the background to finalise the work packages to deliver this project. 

The project is split into four phases:

• Phase 1 – Moor Lane (Start date: July 2024 / completed: September 2024)
• Phase 2 – Oldbury Ringway (Start date: August 2024 / completed November 2024)
• Phase 3 – Cradley Heath (Start Date: August 2025 / expected completion date: November 2025)
• Phase 4 - Wrights Lane (Start Date: July 2025/ expected completion date: September 2025)
