M62 Fully Reopen After A Man Falls From Bridge

Published 15th Feb 2016

The M62 heading into Liverpool has now fully re-opened after being closed this morning after a man fell onto the motorway

Police were called to the westbound carriageway between J7 & J6 shortly before 10am.

Due to the large volume of traffic built up between junctions 7 and 8, congestion will still take some time to clear and motorists should still consider alternative routes during rush hour if neccessary.

Investigation work is being carried out to establish the full circumstances around how the man came to be in the carriageway underneath the bridge.

Some people were stuck for hours today

Motorists are advised to remain patient and drive carefully while queuing traffic starts to move.
