Severe traffic disruptions on M60 and M62

Traffic delays escalated on the M60 and M62 motorways this morning, with two lanes closed on the M60 at junction 13 for Worsley during peak rush hour. Motorists reported heavy queues in both directions, while the M62 eastbound experienced similar congestion between junctions 11 and 12. Authorities indicated that a broken-down vehicle and a spillage on the road led to these lane closures, prompting a clean-up operation to address the situation.

The ongoing traffic disruptions on the M60 and M62 highlight persistent challenges in urban infrastructure management during peak times. The incidents not only inconvenience commuters but also raise questions about the adequacy of response measures for breakdowns on busy motorways. As cities grow, improving the flow of traffic and minimizing delays will be critical for maintaining economic productivity and commuter satisfaction.
