*Quantry Lane, Bell End. Temporary traffic lights and roadworks on Quantry Lane near The Gutter.

*Lower Cladswell Lane, Cookhill. Lower Cladswell Lane both ways closed due to roadworks between Mearse Lane and Cladswell Lane.

*A449 Wolverhampton Road, Cookley. Gas main work and temporary traffic lights on A449 Wolverhampton Road both ways between Castle Road and B4189 Wolverley Road. This stretch is also part of a diversion away from a further set of roadworks which have closed Lea Lane in Wolverley. Consequently traffic is much heavier than normal.
