M60 drivers hit by delays after accidents and break-downs

There are delays on multiple stretches of the M60 this morning due to accidents and broken down vehicles.

According to traffic alert service Inrix, an earlier broken down car on the anticlockwise carriageway from junction 13 for Worsley to junction 12 for Eccles is causing a build-up of traffic. All lanes have been reopened, though congestion is back to junction 19 for Heywood.

This incident has also caused queues on the M61 southbound. There is also a lane closed on the anticlockwise carriageway from junction 11 for Barton to junction 10 for the Trafford Centre.

This is due to a broken down van and is causing congestion back to junction 15 for Swinton, according to Inrix. One lane is blocked on Princess Road, near Northenden, which is having a knock-on effect on the M60 near junction five.

Earlier, traffic was stopped on the M61 northbound from junction three for Kearsley Spur to junction four for Farnworth after an accident. This has since been cleared.

A tweet posted by Manc Traffic earlier this morning said: "M60 ac/w j12 queues and 1 lane closed by the exit for the M62/M602. Congestion to j17 and off the M61/A666. Roads in the Worsley area around j13 are stuffed."

Another tweet posted by Manc Traffic read: "A5103 Princess Rd i/b after the M60 j5 entry slip queues and reports of 1 lane blocked. Congestion onto Princess Parkway from the M56 e/b j3A."
