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 due to a crash on the M42 northbound between J1 A38 / B4096 (Bromsgrove) and J2 A441 (Alvechurch / Redditch).

All lanes have been re-opened after lane three was closed following the collision, which has since been moved onto the hard shoulder.

There are also delays and two lanes closed due to a crash on the M5 southbound between J4 A38 (Bromsgrove / Stourbridge) and J4A M42. Lanes one and two are closed and there are reports suggesting emergency services are at the scene.

Traffic is heavy in Oldbury on A4123 Wolverhampton Road southbound at A4034 Churchbridge (Birchley Island), while there is also delays in Amblecote on A491 High Street southbound before A451 Bath Road and St Johns Road in Stourbridge.

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.

There are temporary traffic lights and roadworks on Doulton Road in Rowley Regis between Powke Lane / Gawne Lane and Cornfield Road, while in Stourbridge, Parkfield Road is closed due to bridge maintenance work between Burnt Oak Drive and Vauxhall Road. The road is closed in the short one-way section on the bridge over the railway line near Stourbridge Town station.
