Nothing unplanned in the National Highways feed for this road right now. Roadworks and planned closures are listed separately.
This page lists unplanned incidents only: collisions, breakdowns and obstructions reported on the M61. For the full picture including roadworks see M61 traffic, and for what’s shut this weekend see M61 closures.
The M61 cuts the corner between Manchester and Preston, linking the M60 and M62 with the M6 north. The Worsley Braided Interchange at its southern end is one of the most complicated junctions in the country and generates most of the route's congestion.
