Breaking News: Gridlock on the M60! This morning's commute is looking particularly grim for drivers on the M60, as a collision in Stockport has caused significant delays and heavy traffic. Let's dive into the details.
Traffic is currently crawling along the clockwise carriageway, especially as you approach junction 2, the Cheadle Roscoes roundabout. The Inrix traffic monitoring service reports that the road is 'partially blocked' due to the accident.
And this is the part most people miss... Delays are already stretching back to junction 26 at Bredbury, according to Google traffic data. That's a considerable backup!
Furthermore, queues are also forming between junction 2 and the M56. Traffic appears to be building up between junctions 23 at Ashton and 25 at Brinnington as well.
Prepare for a longer commute: Expect these delays to worsen during the morning rush hour. Unfortunately, details about the exact nature of the collision are still emerging.
Here's a quick recap of the latest situation:
- 07:06: The latest queues are concentrated near Stockport on the M60, with the heaviest traffic approaching Brinnington on the clockwise side.
- 07:00: Drivers are experiencing delays on the M60 clockwise due to the crash in Stockport. Traffic is slow near junction 2 at Cheadle, and it's particularly congested around Denton Island, approaching Stockport.
