GOOD evening everyone, we're here to get you home as quick as possible on this Thursday afternoon.

So, if you’re looking for a stress free journey and want to avoid the rush hour hot-spots – why not use our traffic update?

A quick glance around the Black Country and North Worcestershire suggests the roads are looking okay in general, apart from where there are ongoing road works. Some to look out for are:

Near Bromsgrove, one lane is blocked on the M5 northbound between J4, A38 (Bromsgrove) and J3, A456 (Halesowen), because of a broken down vehicle.

In Halesowen, one lane is closed on A456 Manor Way eastbound between the A459 Grange Road Island junction and the B4043 Manor Lane junction, because of a gas leak and emergency repairs. Expect delays.

Near Kidderminster, there is slow traffic on the A449 in Caunsall at the Common Barn Lane junction. In the roadworks area.

And, near Stourbridge, Mill Street, in Wordsley, is closed in both directions between the B4180 Brierley Hill Road junction and the Bridge Street junction, because of fire damaged building.
