Traffic has been brought to a standstill near Manchester Airport by Insulate Britain protesters.
Demonstrators appear to have blocked the carriageway near junction 6 of the M56 this morning.
Footage from the scene shows protesters sat in the middle of the road near a set of traffic lights.
They can be seen holding Insulate Britain banners.
Reports from the scene suggest the small number of demonstrators have attempted to glue themselves to the floor.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed earlier this morning that they are at the scene.
In a Tweet, they said: "We're currently responding to a protest on Wilmslow Road (A538), close to Manchester Airport.
We're working at the scene to minimise disruption and we'll provide updates in due course.
Delays are expected and we ask people travelling to avoid the area if possible."
A spokesperson for Manchester Airport said: "We are aware of protestors gathered on land close to Manchester Airport, which is being handled by Greater Manchester Police.
"There is no impact on our operations but those planning to travel to the airport should take account of this ahead of their journey.
"Anyone with further enquiries should contact the police or Highways England directly."
Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham criticised the protesters in a Tweet, saying: "I can’t see how this type of protest does anything other than alienate people from the climate cause.
"Have been reassured @gmpolice are working to get things moving as soon as possible."
Local traffic pages are reporting that congestion is starting to build in the area as a result of the road blockage.
A series of protests by the group involving traffic obstruction began in September, with protesters blockading the M25 along with other motorways.
The protesters demand that the government insulate all social housing in the UK by 2025 and retrofit all homes with insulation by 2030.
