MOTORISTS are being diverted after an accident on the A590 has closed it in both directions.
The collision happened in between A5902 Greenodd and Brow Edge Road Backbarrow A590 and has caused queuing traffic in both directions.
Ongoing recovery work is also adding to congestion and it is thought police are at the scene.
Drivers should allow extra time for their journeys and take extra care.
