A spokesperson said: “Two of three lanes are closed on the M60 anticlockwise in Greater Manchester between J14 and J13.

“This is due to a breakdown that police are dealing with. Recovery has just been completed.

“There are 25-minute delays at present, but these should subside when police remove their closure.”
