IF Chris Rea was driving home for Christmas via Black Country or North Worcestershire roads he’d be well advised to set off now if he wanted to make it on time.
Yes, there are plenty of roadworks and delays on our roads for you to think about as you make your way home from a long day at the coalface.
But help is at hand with our traffic and travel service! A quick look around the region has thrown up a number of hot spots including:
*A456 Manor Way, Halesowen. We are getting reports that traffic is heavier than normal at A459 Grange Road Roundabout. Travel time is eight minutes.
*Carpet Trades Way, Kidderminster. Reports of fuel spillage on Carpet Trades Way near Lower Mill Street. Traffic is coping well but be careful.
*Summervale Road, Hagley. Road both ways closed due to water main work between A456 Kidderminster Road / B4187 Worcester Road / Western Road and Milestone Drive. To access Summervale Road use Church Street off of Worcester Road.
*A435 Birmingham Road, Mappleborough Green. Roadworks are being carried out and temporary traffic lights in operation on A435 Birmingham Road at B4497 Icknield Street Drive.
