Direct Award- A491 High Street Stourbridge Corridor Improvement Scheme.

Description

The Traffic Signals Team, part of the TfWM Network Resilience Directorate, collaborates with stakeholders and Local Authority partners to maximise the performance of the West Midlands traffic signals and ITS network to support, safe, sustainable and efficient operation of the West Midlands Key Route Network (KRN). This includes supporting improved bus travel around the West Midlands region and the local authorities within the WMCA region.

TfWM approached DMBC with a proposed traffic signal improvement scheme along the A491 High Street corridor in Stourbridge. This corridor was highlighted by all the local bus providers within reports produced detailing the areas of highest congestion along bus routes. 
Working with DMBC, TfWM have identified three key junctions along the A491 corridor where network management could be greatly improved with the addition of some key technology. The junctions identified for upgrading are:
-	D0445 - A491 High Street / Vicarage Road
-	D0444 - A491 High Street / Woollaston Road / Collis Street
-	D0443 - A491 High Street / Brettell Lane / Platts Road
As part of the continued delivery of improved and innovative traffic signal network management across the region there is an immediate requirement to procure specialist consultancy support to deliver the above  requireemnts.
