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 there is slow traffic on Brierley Hill High Street around Mill Street, as well as heavy traffic in Beoley on B4101 Dagnell End Road between B4497 Icknield Street / Icknield Street and A441 Birmingham Road.
There are areas of planned roadworks which are causing delays, they include:
Speed restriction of 30 mph and one lane closed due to major roadworks and contraflow on M5 both ways between J1 (West Bromwich / Birmingham) and J2 (Oldbury). Work on the Oldbury Viaduct means that all traffic is sharing one side of the road as a contraflow.

One lane is closed and there are speed restriction of 50 mph due to barrier repairs on M5 southbound between J3 A456 (Halesowen / Birmingham) and J4 A38 (Bromsgrove / Stourbridge). Lane one is closed while planned repairs to the barrier take place.
