Huge delays as M60 shut after lorry crosses central reservation
National Highways said the crash caused significant barrier damage and a fuel spill, leaving drivers facing delays of up to 45 minutes.
- A lorry crossed the central reservation on the M60 near Junction 15 just before 07:30 GMT, forcing closures in both directions due to a fuel spill and barrier damage.
- Following the collision, National Highways reported "significant" barrier damage, with an earlier, unrelated crash having already caused traffic disruption in the same area.
- Drivers face delays of about an hour with queues stretching seven miles, prompting National Highways to implement a signed diversion via the A575, A580, A577, A5082, and A666.
- Greater Manchester Police confirmed that nobody was injured, while the anticlockwise M60 has partially reopened though lane three remains closed between Junction 15 and Junction 14.
- National Highways has not yet confirmed when the clockwise carriageway will reopen between Junction 13 and Junction 15, though the agency estimates clearing the incident between 15:45 and 16:00.
