Congestion up on the moors...
Queues on New Hey Road around Scammonden Moor due to all the ice and snow up on the tops.
This is between Marsden Gate and Rochdale Road. Traffic reports say this is being exacerbated by motorists trying to avoid the M62.
One lane closed on M62 westbound
One lane currently closed on the M62 westbound due to a broken down vehicle between Brighouse and Ainley Top.
Here’s the scene near Ainley Top:
Reports of a five-vehicle accident on M62
This sounds like it might be nasty - please avoid the motorway if possible today.
Woodhead Pass shut
As to be expected, the Woodhead Pass is also closed today.
This is in both directions between the turn off for the A57 and for the A616 leading to the Flouch roundabout.
Snow at Standedge
Check out this snow driving over the tops near Marsden earlier this morning!
At least there’s an excuse to crack out the Christmas jumper for another day...
Accident on the M62 due to snow
The Boxing Day joy continues. Things are also looking a bit busy on the M62...
We’ve got a lane closed eastbound at junction 21 heading towards Greater Manchetser following a snow-related accident. So careful there. Weather conditions up on the moors are still bad so traffic may be slowed down generally as a result.
Holme Moss is closed!
Holme Moss Road currently closed in both directions due to snow and ice.
