Planned roadworks

National Highways has released data showing works taking place, with drivers advised to avoid those routes whilst the works go ahead.

Closures are taking place across the Black Country in Dudley, Wolverhampton, Sandwell, Walsall, and into South Staffordshire.

They are split into categories of how long the delays are expected to be, and these are 'up to 10 minutes, and 'between 10 and 30 minutes'.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
