DRIVERS are experiencing long delays on the M60 near Bolton due to an overturned trailer.

One lane is closed in both directions near Junction 16 for the A666 for Pendlebury due to the trailer crossing the central reservation.

A piece of machinery from a vehicle's trailer ended up on the opposite carriageway.

Highways North West are on the scene and the trailer has since been recovered. Barrier repairs are currently being carried out.

The disruption follows a three-vehicle crash on the M60 clockwise between Junctions 13 and 14.

There are long delays backing up to Junction 12 for the Eccles Interchange and on the M60 to Junction 18 and the M62 / M66 for Simister Island, as well as to Junction 15 for the M61 to Bolton.
