M606 Northbound Closed After Crash as Southbound Is Partially Blocked

Severe delays have built on the M62 because traffic is held and lanes are blocked on the M606.

Overview

  • A collision at Junction 2 on the M606 has closed the northbound carriageway and emergency services are at the scene.
  • Traffic was held earlier on the northbound side, producing long queues between the Chain Bar interchange and Junction 2.
  • A separate crash at Junction 3 is partially blocking the southbound carriageway and causing slow moving traffic.
  • Congestion on the M606 has spilled onto the adjacent M62, cutting average speeds and creating mounting delays.
  • Motorists are being asked to avoid the area if possible, allow extra time for journeys, and follow updates from highways authorities and police.
