Oldbury Town Centre Disruptions 01/03/2023 15:10:31
From 6th February until 16th May 2023
National Grid have a major scheme commencing in Oldbury from 6th February. There are no road closures planned, but there will be a combination of lane closures and temporary signals on roads around Oldbury town centre until 16th May.
Delays in Oldbury town centre and the surrounding area will be unavoidable and, at peak times, significant levels of congestion are anticipated. Services operating through Oldbury are likely to be disrupted by these works and we advise passengers to allow additional time for their journeys during these works.
