🚨 Traffic News 🚨

UPDATE 15:47: The M60 has now reopened but commuters can still expect delays of around 30 minutes.

The M60 anti-clockwise is currently blocked between J1 (Stockport Pyramid) and J25 (Brinnington) due to a reported police incident.

This is causing delays for traffic heading towards the Tameside area.

⚠️ Also affected:
Wellington Road (A6) in Stockport is closed in both directions between Travis Brow Link Road and A560 Leyland Street.

Drivers are advised to avoid the area if possible and allow extra time for journeys.
