THERE is very slow traffic on A38 Bath Road northbound between The Hill Avenue and A44 Sidbury.

This stretch is part of a wider diversion route, due to the installation of the new Battenhall Railway Bridge in the Whittington area so there is more traffic passing through than usual.

A little further out from Worcester, there are hazardous driving conditions due to surface water on the M50 in both ways between M5 J8 and J4 A449 / B4221 (Ross-On-Wye).

Following heavy overnight rain, motorists are reporting numerous patches of surface water along the M50.

The M5 northbound is clear before J4A M42. In the roadworks area.
