medusa Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 is it access only? ie. can you get off at Stocksbridge/Deepcar? cant see why not if the lorry is at Langsett As of 9pm last night there was no option for 'Access Only' as there was a vehicle parked across the exit from the Tankersley roundabout and cones across the whole exit (although the exit onto the roundabout from the Stocksbridge bypass was open and cars were coming down the other way).

andyrad29 Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 This was signposted all the way from the M62 last night, which was quite impressive. yeah well its a major link road from the north west to the midlands and as such should me a motorway but we wont go there, thats another thread!

GFUNK86 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 This happened about 5:30pm last night. It must have just happened as I was on my way home because I was about 10 cars behind the lorry. It was a massive fire! could only just recognise it as a lorry! then after 5 minutes stuck behind it the lorry blew up! massive explosion. not sure how it happened but had to go through penistone this morning to get on to the woodhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFUNK86 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 excellent! thanks for that, where was it exactly? Coming off the flouch roundabout onto langsett - just after the long straight you reach the brow of the hill before you start dropping down towards the speed camera's. Opposite that woodland car park there is a small layby with a greasy spoon, it was just on there. got on my tits really because it made me late for celebrity coach trip!!!!! ha ha hope nobody was in the Lorry though!

I need to get to Stocksbridge later, cant see why i cant use that stretch of the bypass, guess they have to shut it completely tho as they would get some numptys trying to get through to Woodhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SY LOGISTICS Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 is it access only? ie. can you get off at Stocksbridge/Deepcar? cant see why not if the lorry is at Langsett No , it was closed totally at Tankersley for traffic heading towards Manchester , but my partner came back from work in Deepcar a while ago ,and she got on the by pass at Deepcar heading for Tankersley as normal .

At least the pointless queue at Westwood was not bad tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
