Motorists using the M60 this morning have been met facing ‘severe delays’ as both carriageways have been shut due to crashes with one seeing a lorry damage a barrier and cause a fuel spill
There is chaos on the M60 with both carriageways shut after crashes. There are ‘severe delays’ on the clockwise and anticlockwise side of the M60 this morning (November 12).
The motorway is reportedly shut on both sides, as of 7.50am. The M60 is blocked in both directions due to a lorry crossing the carriage way and has seen “significant barrier damage and fuel spill”, according to National Highways.
Emergency services are on scene and is currently expected that motorists will see delays of 60 mins and 7 miles of congestion on approach, according to the Manchester Evening News.
National Highways said on X: “Update 1: M60 J13-15 Clockwise, J15-14 Anticlockwise near Worsley.
“Road is closed due to a collision where a lorry has crossed from one carriageway to the other, resulting in significant barrier damage and fuel spill. Emergency services are on scene. Long delays in the area.”
A spokesperson for GMP said no injuries have been reported in the incident involving a HGV.
This chaos is reportedly between junction 13 for Worsley and junction 15 for the Swinton Interchange.
In an earlier post from National Highways said on X: “Traffic is being held on the #M60 anticlockwise within J15 #M61 junction due to a collision. @gmpolice are on scene.
“There are 30 minute delays and 5 miles of congestion on the approach.”
Reports say another incident shut the clockwise carriageway between junctions 13 and 15, as of 7.50am, while the anticlockwise side of the motorway also reportedly remains shut between junctions 15 and 14.
Congestion is reportedly back to junction nine for Trafford Park.
