All on site construction works for extensions to the West Midlands Metro has been suspended as a result of recent government guidance on social distancing and only going out if essential. The decision was taken by the Midland Metro Alliance alongside local authority partners and Transport for West Midlands on Tuesday 24th March.
Work continued for around 48 hours after this decision to make sure that the sites were left in a safe condition but after this no other work will be completed on site until further notice.
Wider project activities, including detailed design work, will continue as scheduled “to maintain project momentum”.
