Major motorway completely closed after huge crash
The M60 and M66 are both facing long delays with traffic building.
www.express.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reports:
- There have been various traffic incidents on the M60 in the Manchester area, causing delays and occasional lane closures on different stretches. In late January 2026, reports described standstills and significant congestion on multiple sections, with closures affecting both clockwise and anticlockwise directions and junctions around 3 and 27 cited in one update.[1]
- Late February 2026, there were mentions of a partial closure near the Trafford Centre due to an incident, with delays persisting even after reopening.[2]
- Regular updates from UK traffic sources (RAC, AA, and UK outlets) note that the M60 commonly experiences delays around key junctions serving the Trafford Centre, Old Trafford, and surrounding areas, and that incidents can lead to residual delays even after lanes reopen.[3]
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest live status from a current traffic service and summarize current closures, expected clearance times, and recommended detours for your exact route. I can also set up a quick alert for you if you’re planning to travel soon.
Would you like me to check live updates for your specific origin in Piscataway, NJ or a local Manchester-area route in the UK, and provide actionable steps and detour suggestions?
