The A44 remains closed this morning after Worcestershire Highways were unable to complete the road repairs as expected last night.

The delay was caused by a breakdown of a tarmac plant and an incomplete supply of materials.

The resurfacing work was meant to be completed from 6pm - 6am for three nights, however the delay means the A44 between Egdon & Peopleton is still closed.

Worcs Highways & Travel tweeted: "Overnight breakdown of tarmac plant & incomplete supply of material means that works were unfinished last night - the A44 remains closed this morning until remaining tarmac is delivered & laid."
