Overview
- Greater Manchester’s M60 clockwise closed for a police welfare response between junctions 22 and 23 and later reopened with heavy residual congestion.
- The M56 near Warrington shut for hours after a Monday crash involving a lorry and several cars, with two people seriously injured and the road reopening overnight as officers appeal for dashcam footage.
- An overturned vehicle on the M62 eastbound between Milnrow and Denshaw caused a large fuel spill, a full closure and two hospitalisations before recovery and clean‑up teams cleared the scene.
- Separate disruptions on the M4 near Bristol and on the M11 near Stansted triggered lane closures and roughly 45‑minute delays before traffic returned to normal.
- National Highways managed diversions and issued live updates, and knock‑on delays hit other routes such as the M25 in Surrey where a breakdown closed two lanes and left drivers facing queues of up to an hour.
