Overview
- The M60 clockwise is partially blocked between J24 (Denton Island) and J25 (Brinnington), with queues stretching past J23 and traffic also building on the M67 westbound.
- Diversion routes are heavily congested on the A6017 Denton Road and Ashton Road between Audenshaw and Bredbury as drivers avoid the M60.
- On the M62 westbound, one lane is closed with slow traffic between J23 (Huddersfield) and J22 (Rishworth Moor) after a 7am collision.
- The M5 northbound has one lane closed between J15 (M4 Almondsbury Interchange) and J14 (Thornbury), with emergency services on scene and an expected clear time between 08:30 and 08:45, according to National Highways.
- Wednesday’s earlier multi-vehicle crash on the M62 between J22 and J23 was cleared to the hard shoulder with all lanes reopened, though residual delays were reported into Thursday as new incidents developed.
