M62 Crash: Three Lanes Closed, Huge Queues

Drivers on the M62 are facing significant delays this afternoon after a crash led to the closure of three lanes on the westbound carriageway. The incident occurred between junction 12 for the Eccles Interchange and junction 11 for Birchwood, according to traffic monitoring service Inrix.

Lane Closures and Traffic Impact

The three lanes were shut off on July 16, with traffic held briefly before reopening partially. However, long queues have built up as motorists navigate the reduced capacity. Inrix reported that three lanes remain closed, causing congestion in the area.

Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes or allow extra time for their journeys. The delays are expected to persist until the scene is cleared and all lanes are reopened. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
