Three people were taken to Stepping Hill Hospital as a precaution for minor injuries.<\/p>\n A full closure remained in place for 26 hours, until around 1.45pm on Tuesday when highways officers were finally able to reopen the anticlockwise carriageway, with one lane closed due to barrier damage. Then after around 30 hours, the clockwise carriageway fully reopened to traffic.<\/p>\n Details surrounding the ‘complex’ operation of carriageway resurfacing and repair work has also been revealed by National Highways, who said a large section of central reservation barrier needed to be replaced and damaged caused to a bridge parapet repaired.<\/p>\n The carriageways in both directions also needed resurfacing following a diesel spillage, and lampposts damaged in the collision also had to be isolated from the electricity supply and removed.<\/p>\n In a new update, another overnight warning into Wednesday (July 9) has been issued to motorists for further works to be carried out on the M60. Two lanes will be shut in both directions for repairs to be undertaken, from 9.30pm onwards.<\/p>\n An update issued by National Highways read: “Motorists are advised that overnight tonight from 9.30pm further repairs will be undertaken to complete the works to the central barrier, necessitating the closure of lanes 2 and 3 in both directions between junctions 1 (Stockport) and 27 (Bredbury).”<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1752003972_235_0_M60-crash.jpg\")
