Eastside Birmingham City Centre
Digbeth High Street
Ends: Ongoing
Last updated: 22 August 2025

What’s happening?
The Eastside of Birmingham City Centre is set to be transformed through a multimillion pound regeneration project, led by Birmingham City Council, to improve housing, office and leisure space.
With the extension of the metro line, the opening of HS2 Curzon Street Station and the introduction of new Sprint routes, the area will be one of the most connected parts of city and become a better area to live, work, study and visit.
Whilst work takes place, you may experience disruption to your journey. There will be changes to the way you travel to and from some parts of the city centre. Please plan ahead and remember to check your journey regularly.
Please check back regularly for the most up-to-date information.
