A41 rerouted along new dual carriageway, Black Country New Road, between West Bromwich and Wednesbury. Old route through Hill Top renumbered A4196.

A piece of A438 from M5 J9 to Toddington also became part of the A46, and the current section of the A46 round Stratford was new build.
A47	Birmingham	Lowestoft	The original section between Birmingham and Nuneaton has mostly been now de-classified to B-roads, while the section between Nuneaton and Leicester via Hinckley has been largely de-trunked since the M69 runs a similar route.
