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 Dudley on the A4123 New Birmingham Road Southbound at A4033 Tividale Road / A461 Burnt Tree (Burnt Tree Traffic Lights).
Rail passengers should be aware that there are delays on London Midland, Virgin and CrossCountry services at Birmingham New Street due to points failure causing trains to run at reduced speed on some lines.
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.
Delays expected due to temporary traffic lights and water main work on A451 Stourbridge Road in Kidderminster at Hurcott Road, while delays are also expected elsewhere in Wyre Forest due to temporary traffic lights and water main work on A456 between Chapel Lane and St John's Lane in Callow Hill, near Mopsons Cross Farm.
