MOTORISTS are reporting heavy traffic on routes out of Bolton after a broken down lorry caused delays.
The breakdown occurred anticlockwise on the M60 exit sliproad at the Swinton Interchange around half an hour ago.
Highways England is reporting that the breakdown is causing congestion to Junction 18 for M66/M62 Simister Island.
The exit slip road remains partially blocked to allow recovery work as the authorities try to move the lorry, which is stopped on the hard shoulder.
Commuters leaving Bolton town centre have also reported that the incident is causing delays on St Peters Way.
