M60 Lane Closures Cause Long Queues: What You Need to Know

Emergency repairs on the M60 have closed two lanes on the anticlockwise carriageway. The work began on April 1 and has created long queues for motorists. Here is what you need to know.

Location and timing

The lane closures are between junction 11 at Eccles and junction 10 by the Trafford Centre. Traffic management teams expect the restrictions to remain until about 2pm. The closures affect the anticlockwise side of the ring road.

Traffic impact

Queues are stretching beyond junction 15 at the M61 Swinton Interchange. Drivers joining the M60 from the M61 are also facing delays. The A57 Liverpool Road is congested through Peel Green and Eccles as motorists divert.

Delay estimates

Traffic monitor Inrix described the situation as causing long delays. National Highways reported that queues are taking around 30 minutes to clear. Commuters should plan for additional journey time.

Advice for drivers

Avoid the affected stretch if possible. Allow extra time and consider alternative routes. Expect local roads like the A57 to be slow due to diverted traffic.
