TRAFFIC is starting to build in the usual hot spots in and around Bolton this morning.

There are no reported accidents or other incidents, but the normal rush hour congestion is expected.

There is already very slow moving traffic on the A666 coming out of Bolton near the Kearsley Spur, as one lane of the carriageway is closed due to ongoing roadworks.

Delays are also being reported between Chaddock Lane in Astley and Walkden Road in Tyldesley, as well as in Wigan Road in Atherton.

Congestion is also building on the M61 southbound between Junction 3 at the Swinton Interchange up to Junction 1.
