Motorists are braced for a day of delays on the A500 today. Yesterday saw queues around Hanchurch reach around 20 minutes for those aiming for the M6 - even outside of rush-hour.

This morning and those queues are mounting already with delays of roughly 15 minutes as of 7am. It comes as Severn Trent are currently carrying out works on Newcastle Road, just off the Hanchurch roundabout.

The scheme has resulted in temporary lights going in. Engineers could be there until 3.30pm on October 23.

Those works appear to be impacting the adjoining A500, for those heading from Sideway towards Hanchurch.
