Just checked traffic for the journey over and seen this. Anyone know what's going on?
Is it a full closure or due to an incident?

Duno but top of padiham was closed not too long ago.
3 fire engines and 2 ambulances
Next to mr magic both ways

Roadworks

Is it closed both ways?

I thought it was just 50 mph restrictions

Could anyone confirm if its closed?

Will go over the top if it is

I’ve just arrived from Scotland.

Told me it was closed but it’s open just ignore

Did you come on it from Blackburn or Nelson end?

Just joining the M65 at Walton. Will report back in the next 10 mins

Google maps has been saying that for a few weeks but it's been open both times I've been on it. Think it's an overnight closure.

I drove from Burnley to Blackpool every day this week and it’s only been roadworks and people ignoring the reduced speed limit.

Just come from Manchester. It’s open. No restrictions.

As above. Open and shows you can’t always trust google maps

Ironically the best sat nav out there - Waze, is correct but also owned by google… hmmm

It's open.

No issues on the motorway.

I know this is too late but Blackburn

JCT 10 has been closed since dinner time, a car is hanging over the slip road.

We passed that at 2pm, it must've just happened. Very fortunate not to go over.

FYI - if you click on the line, it'll normally give you a very brief detailing as to why and how long for if its planned.

Credit where credits due covering that sort of mileage without making allowances to stop & reporting back 14 mins later is some fair going, foot to the floor at Walton summit to junction 7 accrington it’s taking me at least 15 & that’s with a tonne of lead in the boot downhill passing Blackburn.

I was the passenger not the driver…
