There are delays on the A338 Spur Road this afternoon.

Drivers travelling northbound, towards Ashley Heath, are experiencing delays of up to 30 minutes, traffic information service Inrix is reporting.

A crash on the A31 heading eastbound may be contributing to the delays.

Motorists have been warned about works on the Spur Road southbound beginning tonight.

On Sunday, May 8, all vehicles will be prohibited from proceeding along the A338 from the Ashley Heath roundabout to the Blackwater junction from 9pm to 5am.

The closure is needed to comply with health and safety regulations which require the provision of safe working areas and to minimise the likelihood of danger to highway users.

Cleaning a distance of approximately 8,425 metres, work will include gully cleansing, litter picking, safety fence inspections and removal of overgrown vegetation on both north and southbound carriageways.
