Progress on £25m West Bromwich underpass scheme

This picture shows how work is progressing on a new £25 million underpass in the Black Country. The scheme is being carried out on the A41 in West Bromwich in a bid to cut congestion.

Bridges to the east and west of All Saints roundabout are finished and open and drivers are now being sent through the roadworks on new slip roads. The old subway has been filled in and new kerbs are being laid.

This has allowed further work to start on other parts of the scheme, in particular the supporting walls and beams of the underpass.

Along the south east embankment, the slopes have been re-graded so that drainage, paving and kerbing works can start on the westbound exit slip road.

And engineering work to protect the sewer which crosses the A41 has been completed and sewer diversions on the eastern side of the junction have also finished now.
