Absolutely horrific scenes on the M6 this weekend 😡🚗
Motorists have described the 'appalling' situation on the M6 over the weekend with vulnerable people left stuck in traffic for more than 12 hours.
The southbound carriageway has been closed between junctions 33 and 32 while bridge repairs are carried out with three lanes merging to one before Junction 33 to reduce traffic flow. Heavy traffic has also been reported on the A6 diversion. At just before 11pm on Saturday night one group user said: My father has been on the M6 since 9am for a journey that should take two hours. He has just got to the Galgate exit point and still has another 40 mins minimum to get to us.
Lee Darwen described the scenes on the M6 as 'a blend of Cannonball Run meets Death Race 2000. He said on Saturday night: "Finally made it home at 00:15 after the most infuriating, incomprehensible, frustrating drive ever. Eleven hours to complete a journey which should have taken just 1hr 20min.. Meanwhile, as well as motorists being left stranded in the traffic, local residents have also been impacted by the closure. Lindsey McKirdy said: "Please spare a thought for the local residents who live in and around J33-J32.
