Delays on M5 today. Picture: Highways England
THERE are traffic delays on the M5 today.
The hold-ups are being caused by a combination of emergency repairs and the knock-on effect of a earlier accident on the motorway southbound between junction 7 (A44, Worcester/Evesham) and junction 8 (M50).
Travel time is 20 minutes on the southbound carriageway and 30 minutes on the northbound.
All lanes have re-opened northbound, but lane three southbound remains closed for barrier repairs.
