GOOD evening on this fine Wednesday. We’re sure you don’t want to be stuck in traffic as you try to get home and enjoy the last of the sunshine so let us help you avoid those congestion hot spots.

A quick glance around the Black Country and North Worcestershire has thrown up a few areas you may wish to steer clear from.

These include: *M5 between junction 2 in Oldbury and junction 8 of M6. Congestion means traffic is moving very slowly at present.

*A442 Franche Road in Kidderminster. The road is closed from the A4535 Mason Road junction because of road works. A diversion via Broomfield Road is in operation.

*A4100 High Street in Cradley Heath. This is closed between B4173 Cradley Road and Prince Street junctions because of gas main works.

*B4091 Stourbridge Road in Bromsgrove. There is congestion at the A448 Market Street junction.
