M60 West of Manchester Closed: Major Delays, Avoid if Possible

0:00On March 31st, part of the M60 west of Manchester is closed in both directions right now, as police handle an incident. National highways shut it down completely between Junction 9 and Trafford and Junction 12 in Winton. Drivers are facing major backups, with traffic jammed up as far as 3 miles in spots. Delays are hitting up to 15 minutes just to reach the area. Police are warning everyone to expect serious hold-ups and stay clear if they can, to keep things from getting worse. Surrounding roads are clogged too, turning what should be a quick drive into a nightmare for folks trying to get around. Keep an eye on live updates from national highways, and plan alternate routes to dodge this mess entirely.
