IT'S finally Friday and the weekend is nearly upon us. So let's help you reach your destination with ease this morning.

So far the roads across the Black Country and North Worcestershire are moving reasonably well. Here's a list of some traffic hotspots and delays to watch out for:

Temporary traffic lights on A435 Birmingham Road between B4497 Icknield Street Drive and Pratts Lane.

Narrow lanes and speed restriction of 50 mph due to major roadworks on M5 both ways between J6 A449 (Worcester) and J4A M42. Expect delays. Works to turn this section of motorway into a smart motorway.

Temporary traffic lights and junction improvements on A459 Dudley Road at A4099 Coombs Road/Furnace Hill.

Temporary traffic lights and gas main work on A448 Comberton Road at Yew Tree Road.
