M5 roadworks sparking disruption and delays for motorists
Commuters face traffic chaos on the Midlands motorways as major roadworks cause disruption.
Drivers are facing delays due to the roadworks scheme on the M5 between junctions one and two for West Bromwich and Oldbury.
It is also impacting on the Birmingham New Road, where delays stretch back to Tividale.
A driver's view of the works on the M5
The project to repair Oldbury viaduct has stepped up a gear, with a contraflow system now in place.
All traffic has been moved onto the northbound carriageway between junctions one and two, with two lanes running in each direction.
The motorway has also been cut to two lanes from junction three at Halesowen to limit the amount of vehicles approaching the roadworks zone.
The scheme is due to last until the end of next year and motorists have been warned to avoid the area if possible.
