Junction 10 is for Trafford Park, while Junction 11 is for Irlam. There are around five miles of congestion after one lane of the motorway was closed, National Highways has said.

“Approx. five miles of slow moving traffic with congestion past J14. Please allow an extra 30 minutes on to your current journey time.”
