Washwood Heath Road

This survey is now closed. Birmingham City Council are holding a consultation as part of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) as the next step for these works.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.birminghambeheard.org.uk/bcc/washwoodheathcrosscity_tro/">Click here to respond to their survey if you would like to comment or object.</a> Cross City Bus is funded by a &pound;70 million allocation from the Department for Transport. It aims to improve the connectivity of services, reliability, and journey times. You can find out more about Cross City Bus on the leaflet attached further down this page.&nbsp;In 2024, HS2 Ltd are scheduled to close Aston Church Rd for 14 months of work to deliver a replacement bridge over the HS2 route and the existing railway. This work will be followed in 2025 by the closure of Saltley Viaduct over the same routes. Both works are anticipated to cause an increase in traffic on Washwood Heath Road. To ensure that we maintain reliable bus services for east Birmingham residents, we will be introducing bus priority measures on Washwood Heath Road from Drews Lane to Membury Road in advance of the HS2 works starting. These measures will support the smooth running of the 94,&nbsp;95 and 14&nbsp;services and involve changes to parking and loading restrictions.&nbsp; The proposed changes are available below, and we welcome your feedback.&nbsp;

The proposed changes are as follows:<ul><li>Eastbound bus lane between Membury Road and Bennetts Road - reduced off-peak parking on the south side.&nbsp;</li><li>Westbound bus lane between Warren Grove and Aston Church Road - reduced off-peak parking on the north side.&nbsp;</li><li>Relocation of westbound Washwood Heath Rd: Common Lane bus stop toward Ward End Park Rd- to provide a bus lane.</li><li>Eastbound bus lane between Common Lane and Drews Lane - reduced off-peak parking on the south side.&nbsp;</li><li>Relocation of the pedestrian traffic island near Warren Grove to the junction with Warren Grove&nbsp;to provide a bus lane.&nbsp;</li><li>Unified eastbound and westbound parking/loading restrictions to provide peak-time bus reliability.&nbsp;</li><li>Reallocation of the zebra crossing near Common Lane, moving west towards Lime Tree Road&nbsp;to provide a bus lane. &nbsp;</li></ul>
