The first phase of building was to Wednesbury whereupon the price of coal sold to domestic households in Birmingham halved overnight. Vested interests of the sponsors caused the creation of two terminal wharves in Birmingham. The 1772 Newhall Branch and wharf (now built upon) originally extended north of, and parallel to Great Charles Street. The 1773 Paradise Street Branch split off at 3292:, was rebuilt in the late 1960s at a cost of £170,000 (equivalent to £3,897,400 in 2023). Demolition of the old aqueduct took place in September 1967. In 1991 at a cost of £22,000 its bare concrete structure was painted blue and white and included an frieze of a narrowboat crossing an old-fashioned brick aqueduct. 3165:
Telford proposed major changes to the section between Birmingham and Smethwick, widening and straightening the canal, providing towpaths on each side, and cutting through Smethwick Summit to bypass the locks, allowing lock-free passage from Birmingham to Tipton.

He specified a 1000-yard cutting through the top eighteen feet of the summit, eliminating three locks from each end, and doubling the capacity of the descent at Smethwick locks by building a parallel flight of three locks, in use until the 1960s. The changes were
