TRAFFIC is starting to build on the major roads in and out of Bolton as we approach rush hour.

There are already delays on the A666, with roadworks closing one lane just before the Kearsley Spur, and a 40mph limit in place.

Traffic is moving slowly on the M61 southbound, between Junction 3 at the Kearsley Spur and Junction 1 at the Swinton Interchange.

Delays are also being reported between Chaddock Lane in Astley and Walkden Road in Tyldesley, as well as in Wigan Road in Atherton.
