M61 jnc6, huge amount of dust coming from Irlams Farm illegal motox track

Reported via mobile in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 11:48, Sat 11 June 2022

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3587885.

Huge amount of dust being moved across 3 live lanes from Irlams Farm illegal motox track. (LDR MOTOX) If the distraction of the bikes isn't going to cause an accident then the dust that's landing on the carriageway can cause loss of traction. Bolton council already aware, but this is also Highways Agency issue if it causes a major incident to be declared after a pile up caused by the track being there, and various agencies knowing about it. Been going on since April 2022.

    Kind regards,
