Major delays on M6 motorway due to lorry collision with bridge during rush hour.

This morning, motorists on the M6 motorway were faced with a major delay due to a lorry colliding with a bridge. The incident occurred on the southbound carriageway, causing two lanes to be closed near Cheshire. As a result, traffic was backed up for five miles and drivers were warned to expect hour-long delays by National Highways.

The crash, which took place between junctions J17 and J16, has caused significant disruption to the flow of traffic. National Highways has reported that two out of the four lanes on the M6 southbound are currently closed. They have also advised that normal traffic conditions are not expected to resume until around 10:15am.

In the early hours of the morning, at 5:25am, National Highways issued a warning that three lanes were shut down due to the collision. However, there is some good news as one additional lane has since been reopened shortly before 7am. Recovery work is still underway at the scene, and this is an ongoing situation.
