The second phase of works on the cross-city Sprint bus route linking Walsall, Birmingham and Solihull is set to get under way later this year, transport chiefs have announced.
The first phase, which saw bus lanes, priority junction upgrades and new shelters installed along the route was completed in time to transport spectators to and from sporting venues during last summer's Commonwealth Games.
The second phase will see further work along the route to complete the infrastructure ready for the introduction next year of articulated zero-emission buses on a continuous route following completion of this next phase.
