GOOD afternoon - we're here to provide you with a mid-week travel update in an around the region if you're heading back from work.

There has been an accident on the M42 Southbound at J3A M40 for anyone travelling past Earlswood and Wythall near Redditch.

Lane two (of two) was closed although the accident is now cleared. Traffic remains slow here, however.

There's also slow traffic on the A456 in Kidderminster due to temporary traffic lights, so expect some delays.

If you're heading up the M5 either direction be aware of narrow lanes and speed restriction of 40 mph due to major roadworks on both ways between J2 A4123 (Oldbury) and J1 A41 (West Bromwich).

Three narrow lanes are running in each direction as part of long-term work on the Oldbury Viaduct.
