A666 and Bolton town centre traffic and travel updates - LIVE

While driving can often be an easy travel option, the traffic would be best left at home.

And if you're using the A666 road or heading into Bolton town centre quite often, we are sure you'll know all about it.

The major road in Greater Manchester and Lancashire can often be refereed to as the 'Devil's Highway' due to associations with the number 666.

But others may just know it as Manchester Road, Bolton Road, or Blackburn Road, depending on which area it is in.

If you're taking the route often, you'll be familiar with seeing the West Pennine Moors, the Turton and Entwistle reservoir and the Entwistle reservoir forest.

Our tool below is continually updated to give travellers information on the latest incidents, crashes and roadworks affecting the A666 and surrounding roads, as well as up-to-the-minute news on local buses, trains and trams.

Check the live feed below for the latest traffic and travel news from agencies and services across the region. Simply enter your postcode to get the latest information on the A666 and see the latest information on the roads and public transport.

The  travel updates will tell you where the congestion or incident is taking place, along with which junction and the direction i.e eastbound.

You can then click through to find out how long the delay is expected for, as well as which lanes are closed or whether diversions are in place.
