THE A448 Bromsgrove Highway, the B4086 and the B4096 Hewell Road near Redditch have been reopened after being closed for 16 hours when high voltage power cables fell down across the road.

Both the Bromsgrove Highway, and the B4181 toward Tardebigge were closed down for most of the day on Tuesday, May 24 after electricity cables became detached and came down over the road.

National Grid attended the scene, along with police, workers from Western Power Distribution, and the Highways department.

The roads were reopened just before midnight last night.
