The M60 motorway in Greater Manchester has fully reopened after being closed for more than 30 hours following a serious eight-vehicle collision. The crash occurred between junctions 27 (Portwood roundabout) and 1 near Stockport just before 11:30am on July 7.
National Highways confirmed the anticlockwise carriageway reopened at around 1:46pm on July 8, though one lane remained closed for barrier repairs. The clockwise carriageway reopened later at 5:19pm, with all three lanes running again. However, drivers faced over three-and-a-half miles of congestion approaching the anticlockwise lane closure.
Overnight from 9:30pm on July 8, further repairs to the central barrier will require the closure of lanes two and three in both directions between junctions 1 and 27. Emergency resurfacing work is ongoing at the scene.
Greater Manchester Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage of the incident as investigations continue.
