M60 and M62 traffic: Huge delays on motorway with two lanes closed

Huge queues formed on the M60 and M62 this morning amid rush hour traffic. Two lanes of traffic were closed this morning on the M60 clockwise at junction 13 for Worsley, and motorists faced delays in both directions. On the M62 eastbound, between junctions 11 for Birchwood and 12 for the Eccles Interchange, queues were also forming.

Inrix reports that the lane closure was due to a broken-down vehicle. Traffic cameras appeared to show a spillage on the road, and a clear-up operation took place.
