The A56 Bury New Road was closed for over two hours southbound due to an accident with emergency services on the scene.
The road was blocked southbound just before the M60 roundabout with Transport for Greater Manchester asking motorists to avoid the area.
There was very slow moving traffic due to an accident between Barn Street and junction 17 of the M60 near Prestwich and Whitefield.
✅ The road has now reopened...Drive safe MCRhttps://t.co/BNwvutq0Tj
