7pm till approx 5am

It was closed at around 17.40 from city this evening when I drove through. Looked like it had only just closed as someone was still moving traffic cones.

It was roughly that time I was travelling back, or a bit earlier, and it was closed off completely.

In fact it was not long after 5. 6840.

Seems a bit early to close it off, my times where going off what the sign stating up coming roadworks said.

No diversion listed on the TfWM website, so presumably some kind of 'short-notice' works.

I have seen this happen before elsewhere though, where contractors will close off roads and start work ahead of schedule, without information being properly communicated through the 'usual channels', so it doesn't surprise me.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

It was closed due to a fallen tree.

Due to the 326 running slightly late, I didn't see the 159 turn up at Bloxwich like I normally do!

Looks like I was lucky earlier in Willenhall by The Dale, as I missed a later hit & run, according to Facebook.

Looking at Bustimes.org, it looks like Willenhall has been cut off, as various routes have been using the Keyway, Black Country Route, the back of Willenhall (Pinson Road area) to get round.
