Severn Trent will be replacing water pipes along the route into the city centre with temporary traffic lights in place 24 hours a day until Wednesday.

Motorists are already facing delays on Lower Horseley Fields and Willenhall Road because of temporary lights and lane closures.

The gas works are taking place between Minerva Lane and Hickman Avenue, meaning that traffic at peak times is backing up towards the Bilston Street Island Ring Road.

Efforts have been made to ease congestion for commuters heading into the city, as a bus lane has been suspended to allow drivers easier access through the roadworks.
