Overview
- National Highways says the M42 in Warwickshire remains closed northbound for a police incident, with earlier traffic also halted southbound between junctions 10 and 9.
- The M60 around Stockport, which was stopped both ways overnight due to snowfall, reopened at about 8am, though officials caution that driving conditions remain difficult.
- A crash on the M56 eastbound near junction 3 closed two lanes and caused queues back to Manchester Airport at junction 5 before traffic later cleared.
- Separate collisions on the M602 and other sections of the M60 in Greater Manchester led to lane closures earlier in the morning, with those incidents since cleared.
- The Met Office maintains snow and ice warnings for parts of the North West, advising longer journey times and risks from icy patches on untreated surfaces.
