Design work has commenced while onsite construction work will start from November with the stations anticipated to be finished by next autumn.
Transport for West Midlands director of rail Malcolm Holmes said: “This is a major milestone towards seeing passenger trains restored on the Camp Hill line, with the contractor in place and construction crews gearing up to get on site.
“This means, that after several years of planning and development, we are now entering the final phase and it will not be too long before these stations are complete and open to the travelling public.”
West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has committed £36m for the project with a further £20m to be funded by the Department for Transport (DfT).
The remaining £5m will be provided by Birmingham City Council’s clean air zone fund.
VolkerFitzpatrick operations director Mike Evans said: “Our team are excited to be part of these ambitious plans to create an improved transport network, that will support the region’s ambition to be net zero carbon by 2041.”
