Drivers faced 'severe' congestion near Stalybridge on Sunday (May 28) due to water mains works being carried out in the local area.
Pictures showed traffic backed up along Hyde Road (A57) and Market Street, at Mottram in Longdendale, as drivers faced delays of up to 40 minutes as they headed out to enjoy the bank holiday sun.
There was also traffic backed up as far as the M67 eastbound, between junctions three and four, as temporary traffic lights were introduced as water works were carried out on the main road.
