Drivers are still facing lengthy queues on the M6 two days after a fatal crash and the road isn't expected to fully reopen until the end of the week.
On Tuesday morning, emergency services scrambled to the M6 after a lorry driver crashed into a railway bridge.
It was later revealed that the man, who is in his 60s, died at the scene.
At the time he was driving a blue and white HGV on the northbound carriageway before hitting the bridge between Junction 17 for Sandbach and Junction 18 for Middlewich.
A diversion was put in place but traffic came to a complete standstill with motorists waiting up to three hours in the gridlock.
This morning, traffic police officers have warned drivers about the delays.
Writing on Twitter, North West Motorway Police said: "M6 J17 - J18 two lanes remain closed and will do so for the rest of the week to allow repair works to be carried out to a railway bridge. Please plan this into your journey times if heading north on the M6."
Two lanes out of the four are shut and traffic feeds say there is around a 20-minute queue.
