its virtually sorted itself out by now.
folk have found alternate routes.
however....if your coming from the m61..ie yorkshire way.....come off at the reebock, go down dicconson lane, then carry on to aspull and down scholes way.
atherton way......go through bickershaw, lower ince.
there is only a short section of bridge street closed, and after the initial disruption due to nobody realising it was closed, things are calming down.
i wouldnt anticipate any major delays.
pottery road will be far worse
