Diversions are also currently in place as traffic builds up on surrounding routes with rush-hour underway.

National Highways urged motorists to plan ahead with their journeys.

Vehicles are moving again, but one lane remains closed and there are “long delays”, according to traffic monitoring service Inrix.

Motorists are also facing delays on the A556 southbound, where motorists from Greater Manchester join the M6 at junction 19.
