Traffic Delays Reported on M60 and M62

Major delays are reported on two Greater Manchester motorways today.

Traffic Delays Hit M60 and M62 Ahead of Rush Hour

Commuters face significant delays on the M60 and M62 motorways due to an incident that has closed two lanes. The closures occurred early this morning, around 5:15 am, at junction 13 for Worsley on the M60 clockwise. Long queues have developed in both directions, with the M62 seeing increased congestion on the eastbound stretch between junctions 11 and 12. The Inrix traffic monitoring service has indicated that a broken down vehicle and subsequent road spillage caused the disruptions. Traffic conditions started to deteriorate after 6:30 am, impacting those traveling to Manchester from Warrington and Merseyside.

The growing delays on the M60 and M62 highlight ongoing challenges faced by commuters in the Greater Manchester area. As incidents like these lead to slow traffic, they can contribute to frustration among drivers, especially during peak travel times. With rush hour approaching, the combination of accidents and road maintenance can create a ripple effect that extends beyond just the immediate area. Such situations underscore the need for effective traffic management strategies, particularly in densely populated urban networks.
