A number of diversions have been put into place for usual bus and metro services, with the transport administrators warning of 'plan ahead' before travelling. 

The diversions will see buses diverted via Grosvenor Street West and Oozells Way, and will not service Broad Street between Oozells Way and Fiveways / Ryland Street. 

Trams will be stopped from running along Broad Street, and will instead operate between Wolverhampton Street and the Library only.
