The incident caused delays on the M65
A STRETCH of the M65 was closed for two and a half hours this morning after a woman threatened to jump off a bridge.
Police teams were called to negotiate with the woman who is now thought to be receiving treatment.
The motorway, which was closed in both directions between Brierfield and Burnley, has now reopened.
