Junction 10 of the motorway was closed at 8pm on Saturday and is not due to reopen until 5am on Monday to allow the frames of the bridges to be filled in.

There are delays of around 30 minutes on the motorway while motorists are diverted up and over the junction near Walsall, while nearby local roads are also busier than normal.

It is the third time the junction has been shut in the last three months as part of a £78 million scheme to revamp the junction and speed-up travel times.
