THE A459 Halesowen Road at Cradley Heath has been left partially blocked due to a road traffic crash.

The incident, near Cox’s Lane, has left traffic queuing and resulted in a diversion for the National Express bus service 3.

National Express said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that service 3 was being diverted in both directions via Reddal Hill Road, Garratts Lane and Powke Lane and that people should allow more time for travel.

A traffic update, however, provided by INRIX said a few minutes ago: “The sensors show that traffic can now pass the scene after a full closure earlier.”
