The closure is expected to remain in place until next Thursday (September 10).

Motorists are being advised to avoid the affected stretch and allow extra time for their journeys while the work takes place.

Traffic has been diverted via High Street, Upper Green, Wergs Road, Yew Tree Lane and School Road, with the same route operating in the opposite direction.

Wolverhampton Council said the closure was required because of emergency works being undertaken by Cadent Gas, and advised motorists to check the latest roadworks information before travelling.
