Perry Barr will see unprecedented change over the coming years thanks to more than £500m of investment into the area. This regeneration will deliver new homes, improvements to public transport, walking and cycling routes, new community facilities and high-quality public spaces.
The area will also play a key role in delivering the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. The new housing on the former Birmingham City University campus will initially provide accommodation for athletes and officials during the Games, before being made available for local people after the Games. Alexander Stadium, which is nearby, will be redeveloped to host the athletics and Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
The A34 Perry Barr Highway Improvement Scheme, proposes changes to the road layout at the A34 Walsall Road/ A453 Aldridge Road junction and adjacent roads to improve the way people travel in and around Perry Barr, including giving priority to public transport, walking and cycling. We would like to hear your views on how this proposed new road layout will affect you, however you are travelling.
Summary of proposals
In order to help with the regeneration of Perry Barr, highway improvement works need to be undertaken. To open up the heart of Perry Barr and make the area more accessible by sustainable forms of transport, we plan to redesign the roads between the Greyhound Stadium and Aston Lane/ Wellington Road.
Proposed view across A34 Birchfield Road to One Stop Shopping Centre – the A34 flyover has been removed and a new layout is proposed with a controlled crossing across the A34. A bus lane and cycle route will be introduced on the southbound side of the carriageway.
The plan below provides an overview of the proposed changes to the A34 highway layout.
