Delays of about 90 minutes remain on the M62 heading towards Greater Manchester following a crash.
www.bbc.comI don’t have live access to traffic feeds right now, but I can share the latest general guidance and where to check for real-time M62 updates.
What to know right now
- The M62 can experience periodic congestion from crashes, roadworks, and incidents around the Huddersfield–Greater Manchester corridor. If you’re heading that way, expect possible delays during peak times and after incidents. This is consistent with typical patterns reported in recent road-traffic coverage. [cite ]
- Typical hot spots include sections near junctions 22–23 (eastbound toward Greater Manchester) and the westbound stretches around Halifax/Huddersfield areas, where incidents have historically caused delays and lane closures. [cite ][cite ]
Where to check real-time traffic
- National Highways live traffic and travel updates for the M62 (great for official incident reports and lane closures). [cite ]
- Local and national automotive outlets with live feeds (AA Roadwatch, RAC, BBC traffic) often provide current conditions and advisories. [cite ][cite ][cite ]
- Live maps apps (Google Maps, Waze) typically show current speeds, incidents, and closures in real time for the M62 corridor. [cite ]
Tips for planning
- If you’re commuting on the M62 during rush hours, allow extra travel time and check updates shortly before departure. [cite ]
- Consider alternative routes or adjusting departure times if there’s an anticipated incident or roadworks in the J22–J23 area or nearby feeder roads. [cite ]
- Sign up for traffic alerts from National Highways or RAC/AA to receive push notifications for incidents on the M62. [cite ][cite ]
Would you like me to fetch the latest official updates for a specific segment (e.g., M62 eastbound J22–J23 or westbound near Wakefield) and tailor travel times for your route from Los Angeles to your destination in the UK? If you provide your intended departure time and endpoint, I can outline the best current options and contingency routes. [cite ]
