"To complete this work safely, we will need to put the following traffic management in place:

"Narrow Lanes in place on the roundabout and all approaches.

"50mph speed limit in place reducing down to 30mph.

"Barrier in place on the M5 and A4440 approaches.

"Free recovery service in place on both Highways England and Worcestershire County Council network.

"Off-peak (8pm to 6am) full closures and lane closures.

"We will put fully signed diversion routes in place for any full carriageway closures.
