Travel warning issued ahead of Oasis concert at Heaton Park as serious crash shuts M60
A travel warning has been issued ahead of the Oasis concert this evening at Heaton Park as a serious crash has shut the M60.
The M60 in Greater Manchester is closed in both directions between J19 Rhodes Interchange (Middleton, Manchester (Cen) A576) and J21 Broadway Interchange (Chadderton A663).
This is due to a serious incident which has occurred within the J20 Alkrington Interchange (Blackley, Moston A664)
Greater Manchester Police are leading the response to the incident alongside North West Ambulance Service and National Highways Traffic Officers assisting with traffic management.
Anti-clockwise traffic is held J23-J22 due to a large number of pedestrians who've left their vehicles and are walking up the hard shoulder.
A spokesperson for National Highways North West said: “Please be aware if you're heading to HeatonPark for tonight's Oasis Concert the road is closed due to a serious incident at J20.”
