PART of a major motorway has shut in both directions due to a police incident, leading to long delays.
The M60 has closed around Manchester between Junction 10 for Trafford Park and Junction 9 for Urmston due to a “Greater Manchester Police led incident.”
National Highways said: “Emergency services including Greater Manchester Police are in attendance.
“National Highways Traffic Officers are also in attendance assisting with traffic management.”
Drivers have been warned of delays as diversion routes have been put in place.
The traffic agency has also advised motorists to re-plan their journeys in advance if the closure affects them.
This comes as Easter holiday travel chaos struck across the UK on Friday.
Travellers had had to battle through strike-hit airports and horrendous traffic queues.
Roads have been predicted to be the busiest for an Easter weekend since 2022.
