ONE lane of the the M66 was closed this morning after strong winds caused a tree to fall onto the motorway.
All lanes have now re-opened and traffic has returned to normal after a fallen tree blocked one lane of the M66 northbound between Junction 2, A58 (Bury) and Junction 1, A56 (Ramsbottom).
The tree has now been removed.
The latest live traffic and travel information is available here.
