MOTORISTS are being urged to take extra care due to the wet and windy weather this morning.

Congestion is starting to build at the usual rush hour hot spots, and the spray caused by the standing water is making conditions more difficult for drivers.

There are no major incidents of note to report, but there is said to be slow moving traffic on the M61 southbound between Junction 4 at Farnworth and Junction 1 when it reaches the M60 at the Swinton Interchange.

Drivers are also reminded of likely delays today on the A666, as one lane of the carriageway coming out of Bolton is closed due to roadworks, just before the Kearsley Spur.
