M65 closed?

[TheFamilyCat]

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?

Will go over the top if it is

Did you come on it from Blackburn or Nelson end?

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.

[Granny WeatherWax]

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

[Father Jack]

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

[Foshiznik]

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

[Leisure]

It's open.

[ClaretInLeeds]

No issues on the motorway.

Did you come on it from Blackburn or Nelson end?

I know this is too late but Blackburn

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

[Rouwens_Weapon]

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

[tarkys_ears]

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…
