Unfortunately, there has been a major incident on the M61 motorway that has resulted in its southbound lanes being completely blocked. This means that drivers will not be able to use this route until at least mid-morning. The incident occurred in Lancashire and specifically between junctions 6 and 8. It happened near the Rivington services just after midnight.
Authorities are currently on the scene conducting an investigation, which is causing the closure to last longer. They have not been able to determine an exact time for when the motorway will reopen. In order to avoid any inconvenience, drivers are being advised to seek out an alternate route. National Highways has also established official diversion routes for those who are stuck and need to find a different way to their destination.
In addition to the police, National Highways traffic officers are also present and assisting with the closure. This unfortunate crash is expected to cause significant delays for those commuting during this morning's rush hour. To gather more information, Metro has reached out to Lancashire Police for further details on the incident. Stay tuned for updates on the situation.
