Major traffic disruption around Rochdale and Oldham - EDIT Clearing up now

[Didsbury Dave]

Due to M62 being closed. It is only going to get worse. Just a warning. This will definitely affect the crowd tonight. It’s already spilling onto the routes to the etihad.

Just made a last minute change of plans to get the train down tonight after it took me nearly an hour and a half to get back from Oldham to Littleborough. And that was with leaving work at 3 so God knows what it'll be like in rush hour.

My plans are in tatters. Was going to see my Dad in Oldham Hospital then going to the game.

Sadly I fear it's going to be closed for a long time if the video I've seen on social media is of it and not a previous accident.

Just took my wife an hour and half to get from Middleton to Rochdale.
Looks like I’ll be setting off early then.

Just been looking at this. Guess it’s got to be the tram.

Reopened so things should ease very quickly.

Looks much better already on the traffic maps.

Hope you get to see your dad mate.
