Drivers are facing significant queues on the M6 and M60 following two separate incidents this morning. A police incident caused traffic to be held for a second time on the M60 anticlockwise, while an overturned lorry earlier blocked the M6 southbound. Greater Manchester Police advised avoiding Barton Bridge, with National Highways reporting hour-long delays on the M60.
