DELAYS can be expected on the M5 northbound between J4, A38 (Bromsgrove) and J3, A456 (Halesowen) due to emergency repairs.

One lane of three is closed and it is expected to re-open after the afternoon peak.

Elsewhere across the Black Country and North Worcestershire the roads are moving slightly better with a few hotspots to watch out for:

In Kidderminster, there is also slow traffic on A451 Stourbridge Road at Springfield Lane due to temporary traffic lights causing delays and very slow traffic on A456 Bewdley Hill at Kidderminster Hospital.

Over in Stourbridge there is very slow traffic on A458 Bridgnorth Road.

More to follow.
