Delays of more than one hour on M6 Northbound Cheshire

The M6 in Cheshire is currently experiencing severe delays in excess of one hour between J17, Sandbach, and J19 Knutsford.

This is due to a collision closing one lane within the roadworks between J18 and J19.

Emergency services and recovery contractors are at scene working to clear the incident and reopen the closed lane.

Road users planning on using the M6 northbound through Cheshire are urged to allow plenty of extra time for their journeys.

If possible, please consider delaying your journey until the incident has cleared and delays have eased.

In a 3.30pm update, Highways England said  the collision has now been cleared and ALL lanes are now open – but the residual delays remain and will take some time to clear.
