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 there are the usual areas of traffic.

There are also delays on the M5 northbound from J5 A38 (Droitwich / Wychbold) to J4A (M42 interchange) due to the recover of a broken down vehicle. Lane one (of four) was closed until 6.40am. Cameras show the car half onto the side verge around a mile after J5.

Queueing traffic is causing delays on A448 Bromsgrove Road in Mustow Green around A450 Worcester Road due to traffic light failure, with congestion to the entrance to Hogarths Stone Manor. There are reports that the four-way temporary traffic lights around the new water main roadworks at the roundabout are not working.

Planned roadworks are also causing delays and they include:

One lane closed and speed restriction of 30 mph due to contraflow and major roadworks on M5 both ways between J1 A41 Birmingham Road (West Bromwich / Birmingham) and J2 A4123 (Oldbury/ Birmingham). Expect delays.

Works on the Oldbury Viaduct means that all traffic is sharing one side of the road as a contraflow.

One lane closed due to roadworks on M5 link road Southbound from M6. The M5 link road South coming off the M6 is down to one lane as part of the viaduct work.

A lane is closed due to traffic management for the M5 Oldbury Viaduct roadworks on M5 Northbound at J4A M42. Linked to the major roadworks further up at the Oldbury Viaduct between J2 and J1.

There is a speed restriction of 30 mph due to roadworks in Bromsgrove on A38 Worcester Road westbound between Austin Road and B4091, while there are temporary traffic lights and roadworks on A448 Comberton Road near Kidderminster Train Station.

Tessall Lane in Longbridge is closed due to roadworks at Longbridge Lane. The stretch between the bridge over the River Rea by the Austin Social Club entrance to the junction with Longbridge Lane will be closed permanently to motorised vehicles.

There is also electricity work and temporary traffic lights on the A461 in Burnt Tree at Coneygree Road, while temporary traffic lights and water main work is in place on A450 Worcester Road at A448 Bromsgrove Road in Mustow Green.

Water main work and temporary traffic lights are also in place in Redditch on A441 Birmingham Road between Weights Lane and Abbey Stadium, and temporary traffic lights and roadworks are causing delays on A4025 Worcester Road at B4193 Hartlebury Road in Stourport.
