Delays are building on the M65 due to one lane being closed due to a stalled vehicle at Junction 3, Chorley Road.

Queues are building with the AA reporting the average road speed is just five mph, stretching back to the Earcroft Way Junction at Darwen.

Motorists are expected to experience delays of nearly 20 minutes when travelling westbound from Darwen towards Preston.

The incident was first reported at 12.34pm, on Sunday, October 27, and drivers looking for alternative routes should continue along the A666 towards Feniscowles, rejoining the carriageway at Preston.

Inrixx issued this statement: “One lane closed and slow traffic due to broken down vehicle.”
