Vital funding deal for £50m A38 Midlands upgrade
Abstract
The package of upgrades known as the Bromsgrove Route Enhancement Programme will tackle congestion, improve local journeys and support 5,500 new homes in the region as well as more than 1,000 jobs. The total cost of the scheme is £50m, with the Department for Transport committing to provide just over £43m and Worcestershire County Council providing the remainder. Works include a major upgrade of the A38 corridor. A new cycle and pedestrian corridor. New crossings and overbridges will be built. The project is expected to start in early 2023. If that is approved works are expected to begin in late 2023 and will start in mid-2023.
