Funding has been secured for the first phase of a new tram line out of Birmingham, promising significant disruption for years to come. The initial phase, costing £400 million, will run from Curzon Street to St Andrew's, with plans to extend it to north Solihull, the airport, and the NEC. The route will likely impact roads like the B4128 Coventry Road and Bordesley Green East. The project, which includes planning, design, and land purchases, follows the Digbeth extension, which faced delays and business impacts.
