DRIVERS are facing delays this morning as roadworks on the M5 continue to overrun, leaving commuters facing long tailbacks.
The M5 at junction 2 southbound entry and one lane (of 3) between junction 1 (West Bromwich) and junction 2 (Oldbury) remain closed.

This is due to roadworks that have overrun their pre-agreed end time. There are delays of 10 minutes and around two miles of congestion on approach say the National Highways West Midlands.
We also reported how the same roadworks caused congestion yesterday.
