Two motorways experienced disruptions during rush hour as two separate accidents led to closures on sections of the M60. The first crash occurred near Denton Island, resulting in delays on the M60 clockwise, while the second crash occurred near Swinton.
Delays were observed on the M60 anticlockwise, stretching back to junction 19 of the M62 westbound at Heywood. Additionally, there were queues on the M61 southbound approaching the Swinton Interchange and on the M60 clockwise between junctions 23 at Ashton and 25 at Brinnington.
Traffic congestion near a previous crash site in Swinton has alleviated, and movement is improving on the M60 clockwise following the Denton crash. Trinity Way at the Manchester/Salford border remains closed due to a morning crash, leading to anticipated delays on the inner ring road.
All lanes near Swinton on the M60 have reopened, but long queues persist on the M60, M61 southbound, and M62 westbound approaching the Swinton crash site. Notably, a lorry fire on Tuesday evening at Junction 24 (Denton Island) caused closures and significant delays, prompting authorities to redirect drivers.
The M60 near Denton Island, where it meets the M67, has fully reopened after a lorry fire. However, traffic congestion persists, extending back to junction 23 at Ashton. Furthermore, all traffic on the M60 anticlockwise between junctions 15 and 16 has been halted due to a collision near Swinton.
Motorists using the M60 are encountering additional delays following a second crash near Swinton. Inrix reports partial blockage on the anticlockwise carriageway near the M61 Swinton Interchange, resulting in queues near junction 15.
Heavy traffic has spread to the A6017 Denton Road and Ashton Road due to drivers avoiding the M60. Delays are being experienced on both the M60 and M67 following a collision between Denton Island and Brinnington.
Inrix indicates that the M60 clockwise is partially blocked with slow traffic due to an accident from Junction 24 at Denton Island to Junction 25 at Brinnington. Additionally, an unrelated incident on the M62 has caused congestion for drivers heading towards Manchester from West Yorkshire.
After a temporary stoppage on the M62 due to an earlier collision, drivers are facing delays between junctions 23 at Huddersfield and 22 at Saddleworth. Long queues persist on the M60 between junctions 24 at Denton Island and 25 at Brinnington, with traffic flowing slowly through the area.
The incident near Denton Island caused delays on the M60 clockwise this morning, as reported by Inrix.
