This unexpected event has left drivers frustrated and curious about the situation.
As of 3 am this morning, lanes one and two of the eastbound carriageway were closed between junctions 11 (Birchwood) and 12 (Eccles Interchange). The closure was necessary due to flooding near the hard shoulder, as confirmed by traffic cameras and on-site highway workers.
