I don’t have live access to current traffic feeds right now, but I can share the latest publicly reported updates I found about M60 traffic from recent sources.
Key points from recent reports:
- There have been several incidents on the M60 in the Manchester area causing lane closures and significant delays on both the clockwise and anticlockwise directions, with peak impacts around junctions near Trafford Park, the Trafford Centre, and Stockport areas [source summaries from Jan–Feb 2026 coverage].[1][2][3][5]
- Specific events include major crashes that led to temporary closures and long queues, with diversions in place and ongoing recovery work until lanes could be reopened.[5][1]
- Some reports noted ongoing residual delays even after partial reopenings, and commuters were advised to check live updates and consider alternative routes or extra travel time during peak periods.[1][5]
- Regularly updated regional traffic sites (RAC, AA, and other UK traffic outlets) emphasize M60 as a hotspot for congestion around junctions connecting to the M56, M62, and M66 corridors, especially in morning rush hours.[3][7]
What you can do right now:
- Check a real-time traffic service for the M60 near your area (Stockport, Trafford Park, or junctions 8–27 commonly affected) to see current speeds, incidents, and closures.
- If you’re traveling into Manchester or around Greater Manchester, allow extra travel time and consider alternative routes such as using M62/M66 corridors or local ring roads depending on current conditions.
- If you want, I can pull a quick, current set of live updates for you (requires web access) and summarize them with clear directions and estimated delays.
Would you like me to fetch the newest live M60 traffic updates for your specific vicinity (e.g., near Stockport or Trafford Centre) and provide a concise plan with suggested alternate routes? I can also include a simple 1-page advisory and a short chart of typical delay ranges by junction, if helpful.
