National Highways has warned of queues of up to three hours along the M62 as severe weather warnings remain in place.

The heavy snowfall across North Western England has led to major traffic disruptions on the M62 across the Pennines and Greater Manchester this morning (March 10). Gridlock and long queues started last night as heavy snowfall swept across the region, and as morning commuting starts, traffic is moving slowly.

With the Met Office issuing yellow weather warnings for ice and snow lasting until Sunday, longer travelling times are expected, and several crashes were reported on Thursday evening. Some have reported being stuck for up to seven hours between junction 22 and 20.
