ROADWORKS on a main road into Hereford have been causing huge traffic issues for drivers. 

Openreach is carrying out telecom work on the A49 Ross Road, near the Rotherwas Relief Road.

There have been reports that traffic has been backed up as far as the turn-off for Kingsthorne this morning (April 11), with it taking motorists around 30 minutes to get through.

Temporary lights are in operation, with the work set to finish by 11.59pm tomorrow (Friday) night. 

The A49 between Wilton and Hereford will also still be shut from 8pm to 6pm until April 27 so that National Highways can carry out white lining and road markings on the carriageway. 

Meanwhile, a give-and-take management system is in place in Hinton Road while Zzoomm carry out work, while Harold Street will reopen tomorrow (April 12) after being closed since April 2. 

There are also temporary lights to the east of the city, in Sudbury Avenue.
