HAPPY Friday everyone -the weekend is finally here.

But before we can enjoy the break, we need to get through one more day at work.

A quick glance around the Black Country and North Worcestershire suggests the roads are looking okay in general, apart from where there are ongoing road works. Some to look out for are:

  • Broome: Delays expected due to convoy system and stop/go boards on A450 Worcester Road both ways between A456 Kidderminster Road South and Broome Lane. Causing long delays between the Shell petrol station in Hagley and Hackmans Gate.
  • Bromsgrove: Birmingham Road both ways closed due to roadworks between Burcot Lane / All Saints' Road and A38 Birmingham Road.
  • Stourbridge: Ridge Street closed due to burst water main between A458 Bridgnorth Road and B4537 Vicarage Road. Diversion: Via Vicarage Rd, Bridle Road and Bridgnorth Road.
  • Halesowen: Highfield Lane both ways closed due to gas leak between B4183 Hagley Road and Andrew Road. Diversion: Via Hagley Road, Queensway and Andrew Road.
  • Kidderminster: Road Street Westbound closed between Severn Side South and Park Lane. Affecting traffic heading into town, as repair works take place to St Annes Church.
