Black Country road closed due to 'dangerous structure'
A road has been forced to close and diversions put in place due to a "dangerous structure" that is next to the road.
Lower Lichfield Street, Willenhall, between Locksmith and Middle Piece Way is closed due to a dangerous structure adjacent to the highway.
A spokesperson for Walsall Council confirmed: "The closure has been put into place because of roof tiles dropping off one of the building landing on the highway," and discussions with the owner were ongoing.
The closure was announced at 10.04am on Friday, with National Express West Midlands also announcing diversions to regular bus travel in the area.
The travel group announced that the number 37 service will be diverted to avoid the closed road.
National Express West Midlands said on X: "Diversion. Thursday 21st December 2023 - Friday 12th January 2024.
"Lower Lichfield Street is closed between Locksmith Close and Middle Piece Way due to a dangerous structure adjacent to the highway. Service 37 will be on diversion. Apologies for any disruption caused."
Diversions will see the 37 now travel via Clarkes Lane, Walsall Road, Middle Piece Way, Lower Lichfield Street and normal line of route.
From Walsall will be the reverse of above.
