THERE have been a few incidents on the roads this morning.

A lane is closed on the M62 in Manchester heading westbound between junctions 19 and 18 due to a broken down HGV.

The Highways Agency is advising people to approach the area with caution.

The A580 East Lancashire Road in Tyldesley is also partially blocked westbound due to traffic light failure and an accident involving a van and car between the A577 Mosley Common Road and A572 Chaddock Lane.

The car has hit the lights and caused them to fail affecting traffic from Worsley towards Glazebury but engineers and recovery are at the scene.

Other than that there are just some roadworks to be aware of.

Station Road in Blackrod is closed both ways due to roadworks between the A6 Blackrod By-Pass Road and Moss Lane. This is due to electrification works at Blackrod station.

Grimeford Lane in Blackrod is also closed both ways due to roadworks at The Railway Bridge for the rail electrification work with a diversion via Railway Road in Adlington.

There are temporary traffic lights on Mill Lane, Horwich, while resurfacing work is carried out at B6226 Church Street.
