THERE are delays of more than an hour on the M6 through Cheshire this morning, Friday, after overnight roadworks over-ran.

Two lanes were closed northbound to allow white lines to be painted between junction 18 at Middlewich and junction 19 at Knutsford.

But the work, which should have finished at 6am, went on until 7.10am.

It was 7.15am before the cones were removed but delays of more than an hour are now being reported.

The road is now fully open.
