Standing water is causing problems on some of the main roads in the district.
Flooding forced the closure of one lane of the southbound M606 motorway earlier today.
A police spokesman said: "We got a call from the Highways Agency at 12.37pm because there was standing water."
Police said the car-share lane that links the M606 to the eastbound M62 was the worst-hit lane.
