MOTORISTS are being warned about drainage work on the stretch of the M5 near Rubery.

The Highways Agency will be carrying out the work on the southbound carriageway, between Junction 3 (near Halesowen) and 4 (Lydiate Ash), from Monday, January 28.

Due to take four weeks to complete, the work is being carried out on the drainage system and to gullies in a section of the hard shoulder.

Restrictions will be place while the work is underway, including a 24-hour, 50 mph speed limit.

Between Monday and Fridays, two narrow lanes will run from 8pm until 4pm the following day. Three narrow lanes will run between 4-8pm.

Between 8pm on Fridays, until 4pm on Monday, two narrow lanes will be running.

Charlotte Foster, from the Highways Agency, said: “To minimise disruption to road users we will keep three lanes open during the evening rush hour.

“We advise drivers to allow extra time for their journeys.”
