Overview

• National Highways says the M60 remains closed in both directions between Junctions 25 and 1 for barrier replacement and bridge parapet repairs, with drivers forced onto marked diversion routes.
• The anticlockwise carriageway of the M60 reopened early Tuesday with a single lane shut for safety works, yet significant delays persist on surrounding roads.
• After yesterday’s broken-down tanker fire on the M62 eastbound between Junctions 22 and 23, all lanes have reopened but tailbacks of around three miles and 30-minute delays remain.
• Emergency crews including Greater Manchester Police, Manchester Fire & Rescue, the North West Ambulance Service and National Highways officers completed overnight resurfacing and debris clearance following Monday’s eight-vehicle collision.
• Motorists are urged to allow extra journey time for airport access and regional travel as the spate of recent motorway incidents compounds congestion challenges.
