Greater Manchester Police said the man fell after officers responded to a welfare concern, and the M60 remained closed for hours as enquiries continued.
- On Tuesday, March 31, a man died after falling from Barton Bridge on the M60 in Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester Police responded to a concern for welfare report at 9:40am and confirmed the man passed away at the scene.
- Following the incident, Greater Manchester Police closed the M60 anti-clockwise between J12 and J10 to facilitate investigation work. Officers and paramedics were called after the welfare concern was reported, with the closure expected to remain for several hours.
- National Highways implemented traffic management, diverting anti-clockwise motorists off at J12 to join the M602, then take the 3rd exit onto the A576 and use the A5081 toward the Trafford Centre. Motorists rejoin the M60 at Lostock Circle.
- "If this closure impacts on your planned route, please allow extra journey time," National Highways advised, urging drivers to plan ahead or delay journeys. Disruption was expected to continue for the rest of the day.
