CWC25021 - BCT CEG A454 Ph1 & 2 Detailed Design

The A454 Phase 1 and 2 scheme focuses on improvements to the A454 Willenhall Road and Walsall Street/Lower Walsall Street. The improvements will support multiple modes of transport and allow smoother traffic flows through a one-way two-lane system around Middle Cross Junction, Lower Horseley Fields, Lower Walsall Street and Walsall Street. Lower Walsall Street and Walsall Street improvements will facilitate west-bound traffic and link back into Middle Cross and Bilston Road Island. Improvements to Hickman Avenue and Old Heath Road junction will help reduce congestion issues. In addition, segregated cycling facilities will be introduced to offer inbound and outbound journeys by bicycle. With the finalisation of the preliminary design stage underway and pending decision of programme entry by the Department for Transport, city of Wolverhampton Council on behalf of Black Country Transport are seeking an organisation to continue to develop towards construction. The design produced from this contract will be used to support contractors in establishing buildability of the project. Utilising ESPO 664_25 Lot 2
