The second of two old bridges is being demolished after new, wider replacements were installed last year.

The M6 under Junction 10 was closed at 8pm on Friday and will remain shut until around 5am on Monday. Motorway traffic is being be diverted up and over at the roundabout, while people in the area have been asked to take alternative routes if possible or allow extra time for journeys.

The long-term project aims to reduce congestion at the historic bottleneck junction in Walsall where the motorway meets the A454 Wolverhampton Road/Black Country Route.
