THE M65 has been closed from Junction 5 and Junction 6 both directions.
The junctions are closed in the Oswaldtwistle area from 9pm.
A tweet from Blackburn with Darwen said: "Please be aware of this when travelling in the area. Thank you for your patience in the matter and we will update once they are reopened."
It is unclear what has happened at the moment.
