Drivers are stuck in long queues of traffic on a main road into Worcester this morning (Tuesday). 

Long queues are backing up on the A449 after the exit from Ombersley as a lane is closed for Highways work.

Last night, police were on scene as a manhole cover became displaced between Ombersley and Claines on the carriageway heading into the city.
