Midland Metro extension due to open with rebuild
Construction on the extension of Birmingham's Midland Metro line through the city centre will start this month, developers have said.
The project involves creating a 0.9-mile extension linking Birmingham's Snow Hill.
Trams will follow a route from the existing Metro terminus at Snow Hill, along a £9m viaduct already built by developer Ballymore, down Upper Bull Street and Corporation Street and on to Stephenson Street.
It is due to open in 2015 coinciding with the completion of the £600m Gateway rebuild of New Street Station.
