ONE lane of the M62 is closed in Birchwood this morning, Thursday.
The closure is due to a broken-down vehicle on the M62 eastbound.
An incident log states that the vehicle broke down between Junction 11 (Birchwood Way) and Junction 12 (Eccles).
The report adds that the closure is causing 'slow traffic.'
Meanwhile, the AA's route planner also adds: "Delays of five minutes on M62 eastbound between Junction 9, Newton Road (Winwick), and Junction 11, Birchwood Way (Birchwood)."
