M60 Traffic LIVE: What’s happening now
Motorists are facing delays on the M60 as queues are building up on the clockwise carriageway approaching junction 2 near the Cheadle Roscoes roundabout. The disruption comes amid ongoing roadworks in the Stockport area, compounding delays for drivers this morning (November 5).
Details of the incident and roadworks
Emergency services responded to a crash within the Stockport stretch of the M60, triggering congestion as lanes were partially blocked and traffic slowed through the affected area. At the same time, roadworks in the vicinity reduce available lanes and create bottlenecks, particularly on the approach to the Cheadle Roscoes roundabout. Road users should expect a mix of stop-start movement and slower speeds as flow recovers.
Impact on travel times and what to expect
Travel times are longer than usual for weekday morning peak periods in this corridor. Motorists heading clockwise from Manchester toward Stockport and beyond are most affected, with tailbacks building near junction 2 and extending toward earlier stretch points depending on current lane closures and incident clearance. Local diversion routes may be in place, and drivers are advised to follow any temporary signage.
Alternatives and tips for drivers
- Consider delaying non-urgent trips or relocating travel to off-peak times if possible.
- Use live traffic updates and navigation apps for real-time lane status and suggested detours.
- Plan extra travel time to accommodate potential hold-ups near the Cheadle Roscoes roundabout.
- If you must travel, maintain a safe following distance and stay alert for changing lane patterns as works progress.
What to watch for next
Expect ongoing updates as responders work to clear the crash and manage roadworks. The situation can shift quickly, with changes in lane availability and signals at junction 2. Local authorities may adjust traffic management measures as the incident evolves.
