AERIAL footage has been released showing significant progress on the new Dudley Interchange, which is set to transform public transport services in the town centre.

- By GAVIN JONES

The images show the main steel framework of the building is now complete, marking a major milestone in the multi-million pound project to build what Transport for West Midlands describe as "a new, modern, future-proofed gateway".

The two-storey facility, which is set to open next year, will include waiting areas and live travel information screens, linking bus services to the new West Midlands Metro extension, also set to open in 2026. With the steel structure in place, work will now start on installing the roof. The Interchange is being built by Taylor Woodrow under contract from Transport for West Midlands (TfWM).
