Breaking News: The A57 Mancunian Way is Completely Shut Down Due to a Serious Police Incident!
Manchester is facing significant traffic disruptions as the Mancunian Way, the city's vital inner ring road (A57), has been completely closed in both directions. This closure is due to a "serious" police incident, according to Transport for Greater Manchester. The closure has been in effect since approximately 01:00 GMT, causing considerable inconvenience for commuters and anyone needing to travel through the area.
Commuters are strongly advised to seek alternative routes. Options include using Trafford Road or Trinity Way. Be sure to factor in extra travel time to account for potential delays and increased traffic on these alternative roads.
But that's not all...
Adding to the traffic woes, there's also been an earlier crash on the M62, heading into Manchester, near the Eccles Interchange. This incident involved an overturned car, leading to the closure of two lanes within Junction 11. National Highways has reported major delays as a result of these closed lanes, further complicating travel for those entering the city.
Police are currently investigating both incidents.
