The westbound carriageway between J24 Ainley Top and J23 Outlane re-opened at 4am today following an emergency resurfacing operation through the night.

The stretch between the junctions was shut following a incident on Monday when an HGV jack-knifed and spilled diesel across the junction 24 westbound entry slip road and two lanes of the main carriageway.

There are no residual delays reported in the area this morning.
