MOTORISTS are being advised to find alternative routes as an Oldbury road has been closed.

Brades Road is closed between Dingle Street and St James Road today (Tuesday May 24) due to emergency gas works by Cadent Gas Ltd.

Work is expected to be completed by Friday (May 27).

Sandwell Council said the emergency road closure is expected to cause delays, and advised drivers to use alternative routes.

A diversion is signposted via Rounds Green Road, Oldbury Ringway, Dudley Road and vice-versa.
