Road users were slowed to a crawl along the A5 westbound approaching Preston Roundabout from Telford throughout Thursday.

Reports suggested it was due to a lane closure near Emstrey Roundabout.

Earlier, traffic data suggested drivers may be facing delays of up to an hour.

Just after midday queues were down to seven minutes, but congestion worsened later in the day towards rush hour when motorists reported long queues.
