THERE are severe delays on the M62 tonight due to an earlier incident involving horses on the M60.
The animals got onto both sides of the M60 between junction 15 for the Swinton Interchange to junction 16 for Pendlebury and the carriageways were blocked until 4pm.
Traffic is still queuing back to the M62 eastbound at Birchwood to get onto the M60 and travel time was almost an hour.
All lanes have now been reopened but congestion still remains.
The M61 heading southbound is also queueing to junction 4 for Farnworth.
