LIVE: M6 drivers hit by huge traffic delays with miles of queues

Cause behind delays

The bridge joint on the Thelwall Viaduct must be repaired, with work ongoing to unravel the difficulty.

Nationwide Highways shared photos of the continued work, which has closed two lanes of the highway since 6am on Saturday morning.

Emergency repairs to the joint, which permits the bridge to develop and contract safely when the climate modifications, first befell in April when the fault was seen, however extra work has now been required.
