Evening all! A cold, slightly snowy Monday is almost done and dusted so to help you get home quickly and as painlessly as possible – here is our traffic update for the evening.

We will update throughout rush hour as and when we get fresh information.

18.06 - There is still heavy congestion in both directions on the A449 in Hartlebury between the Crown Lane and Rectory Lane junctions because of roadworks.

18.03 - Traffic is busy on the A451 Lion Hill in Stourport around the York Street junction.

An accident on the A4123 Wolverhampton Road in Oldbury has resulted in part of the road being blocked between Birchley Island and the Titford Road junction. Delays there.

Gas main works continue on Hagley Road in Stourbridge Town Centre. Temporary traffic lights are in place.

In Brierley Hill, the A4101 High Street is closed eastbound between the Dreadnought Road junction and The Plantation junction because of gas main roads. A diversion is in operation via Dreadnought Road and Tansey Green Road.

Also on the High Street, this time around the Bradley Street junction, more gas works are causing some delays.

Temporary traffic lights on the A4100 Forge Lane, at the junction with New Pool Road in Cradley Heath are causing congestion in both directions.

The A456 Kidderminster Road, in Hagley, also has temporary traffic lights just before the A491 Stourbridge Road junction.

There is a bit of congestion on the A461 Dudley Southern bypass between Kingswinford Road and Cinder Bank.

Delays are also expected on A457 Tipton Street, in Sedgley, at the A459 High Holburn junction because of temporary traffic lights.

Major road works on the A4025 Mitton Street, in Stourport, at the Severn Side junction, has resulted in a lane closure, so delays are expected there.

Yet more temporary traffic lights – this time on the A448 in Chaddesley Corbett at the Fox Lane junction. This is causing congestion.

More road works and a lane closure mean more delays, I’m afraid, if you are travelling on the A449 Worcester Road in Hartlebury, at the Recotry Lane junction.

Over in Redditch, there is heavy traffic on the A435 Birmingham Road in Mappleborough Green, around The Dog Roundabout.

Still in Redditch, delays are expected on the A441 Evesham Road in Astwood Bank, at the Avenue Road junction because of temporary traffic lights.

Bromsgrove has its share of temporary traffic lights too, over on the A442 in Cutnall Green at the Addis Lane junction. Expect delays there too.

Works to widen a roundabout continue on the A38/A491 in Lydiate Ash at the M5 J4 junction. One lane is closed and temporary traffic lights are in operation.

In Droitwich, there is gas main work on the A38 Droitwich Road in Claines, at the Claines Lane junction. Temporary traffic lights are in operation.

Expect delays on the A449 in Crossway Green, at the A4025 Stourport Road junction because a convoy system is in place as road works are carried out.
