Lane closures on the M6 this morning have led to heavy traffic and long delays.
Three lanes (out of four) are closed on the M6 Thelwall Viaduct Northbound, between J20 M56 (Lymm Interchange) to J21 A57 Manchester Road (Woolston).
The lanes were closed overnight for resurfacing work and were due to reopen by 6am, on Wednesday, February 23.

However due to the tarmac not setting on time the lanes have not yet reopened. It is likely they will remain closed until 8am at the earliest.
Highways England are reporting delays of more than 45 minutes above average journey times.
Disruption was expected and drivers were previously warned of the roadworks taking place on the motorway.
