IT’S that time of the day when our minds turn to avoiding traffic and getting home as quickly as possible.

A quick look around North Worcestershire and the Black Country has thrown out the following incidents.

*Castle Road, Kidderminster. A burst water main has resulted in the closure of the road in both directions between the Dixon Street and Woodfield Crescent junctions.

*M5 motorway. We have received reports of heavy congestion on the M5 northbound between junction 2, A4123 for Oldbury and the M6 junction 8.

*A441 Birmingham Road, Hopwood. One lane is closed on the A441, near the Hopwood House pub because of gas main works.
