Two lanes have closed on the M5 for emergency repairs
All lanes are open again but there are still delays of more than an hour on the M5.
Two lanes were closed earlier on the M5 southbound to allow emergency repairs to be carried out.
The closure was in place between junctions 19 and 20.
A defect in the carriageway surface was reported this afternoon and was repaired before the lanes reopened.
Delays should now start to ease.
