The A4037 is a short urban A-road through the Black Country.
In 1922, the A4037 started on the A461 at Ocker Hill. When the A41 dual carriageway was built, the A461 was downgraded in this area and the A4037 took over its route north to meet the A41 on the edge of Wednesbury.
West of Ocker Hill, the A4037 skirts Summer Hill before approaching Tipton from the north. It then crosses the A4123, changing Metropolitan Borough in the process, and climbs past the Black Country Museum to end at a roundabout on the eastern side of Dudley town centre. Here, it still meets the A461.
