Commuters should expect delays after a crash has closed one lane of a major route.
The northbound carriageway of the M61 from junction three towards junction four is down to two lanes after a crash.
The lane closure comes after a previous crash was cleared from the southbound carriageway from junction three towards junction two for Kearsley.
Update: This incident has now cleared, however there is now a road traffic collision on the opposite carriageway northbound between Junction 3-4 https://t.co/x2BowK92NN
