King Street and Flood Street Junction, in Dudley, closed this morning to allow for major Metro extension works between Brierley Hill and Wednesbury.

The roadworks are set to be in place for a nine-week period, with road users facing diversions and possible heavy delays as a result of the road closures.

Now, images and drone footage taken by the Express & Star show the scale of the work being carried out.

In the images, workers can be seen organising themselves and putting more barriers into place to make the area safe before they commence the work.

Road users were told to expect delays while the roadworks take place

The images come after a spokesperson announced the commencement of the works, reassuring that access to frontages, as well as the Churchill Shopping service yard will still remain.
