National Highways said normal traffic conditions are expected between 10pm and and 10.15pm.

A crash has also closed the A6070 Boon Walks in both directions between Burton Road and Tanpits Lane Burton-in-Kendal.

Motorists are being urged not to exit at junction 36 in an attempt to bypass the motorway delays via the A6070, as the incident has made that route impassable.
