GOOD morning. We are here to provide any information on incidents that might crop up throughout the rush hour period this morning on our Black Country and North Worcestershire roads.

So far the roads across the area are pretty quiet, but is heavy traffic in Oldbury on A4123 Wolverhampton Road southbound at A4034 Churchbridge (Birchley Island).

The congestion is back to Newbury Lane / Portway Road and on A4034 Birchfield Lane to Borough Crescent. It is affecting traffic heading towards M5 J2 and heading away from Rowley Regis and Tividale.

There are also areas of planned roadworks which are causing delays, including:

Narrow lanes and speed restriction of 50 mph due to major roadworks on M5 both ways between J6 A449 (Worcester) and J4A M42. Works to turn this section of motorway into a smart motorway.

In Bromsgrove, Birmingham Road southbound is closed due to roadworks at A38 Halesowen Road, while in Bewdley, Sandy Bank is closed and delays are expected due to roadworks at Wyre Hill after a wall collapsed.
