MOTORISTS have faced weeks of frustration in Hereford due to ongoing roadworks but it appears those travelling north in the county faced a similar problem yesterday.

Karl Ryan captured the scene as traffic backed up on the A49 at Dinmore Hill due to temporary traffic lights near to the junction of the A417 for Bodenham.

The photo was taken at around 11.45am last Wednesday and Mr Ryan said the tailback went to the top of the hill.

He added: "I think the lights must have stopped working for a short while – traffic was at a standstill for at least 15 mins."

The delays were due to BT works which have now been completed.
