Heading up north to Manchester, there's slow moving traffic on the M60 anti-clockwise between junction 15 for Swinton and junction 12 for the M602. And in Edinburgh, be prepared for delays on the A720 Edinburgh City Bypass westbound near Gilmerton due to roadworks. In Bristol, the A369 Rownham Hill is closed in both directions due to a burst water main, so make sure to find an alternative route. And last but not least, in Cardiff, the A4232 Butetown Tunnel is closed southbound for overnight maintenance - might want to plan for a detour. That's a wrap for your latest traffic and travel updates. Stay safe out there on the roads, and hopefully, you'll make it to your destination with some sanity intact!
