West Midlands Roads have warned of heavy traffic delays on the A454 Willenhall Road around the junction with Lower Walsall Street.

The delays come as emergency services deal with a broken down lorry on the city side.

West Midlands Roads said on Twitter: "A454 Willenhall Road around the junction with Lower Walsall Street, Wolverhampton.

"Broken down lorry on out of city side. Heavy traffic is reported. Expect delays."

Buses on routes 82 and 529 were being diverted before National Express West Midlands reported just after 11am that the lorry had been removed and diversions withdrawn.
