RUSH hour traffic may be hit by road closures as flood barriers go up in a riverside town.

Drivers travelling into Bewdley town centre may run into a temporary road closure in the area of Beales Corner while the Environment Agency put up flood barriers.

The closure will run from about 5.45pm until 9pm.

Vehicles heading into the town centre will be diverted from the roundabout near to the West Midlands Safari Park on to the A456 bypass.

The town centre will be open as usual despite the work.
