This huge pothole is causing long delays on the M60 this morning.
A lane has been closed near to junction one for Stockport Pyramid while road crews work to fill in the hole.
It's led to six miles queues back to junction 24 and 35 minute delays.
It's not clear if last night's torrential rain caused the hole.
