The hole had mostly been filled in by Tuesday morning, but was still closed to traffic with a diversion route established via Stallings Lane, Wolverhampton Road, and Himley Road.

Temporary two-way signals are currently in place on Stallings Lane.

Dudley Council has said that the work to repair the road is expected to be completed by Friday.
