Police said it was not yet known how the woman died. She was wearing pink trousers, a dark top and white shoes. | |
Severe congestion as a result of the closure was causing tailbacks on what was the first day back to work for many people, a police spokeswoman said. | |
"Motorists are advised to avoid the area if at all possible," she added. | |
Police were alerted to the body by a member of the public who contacted them shortly before 0700 GMT. | |
The motorway is expected to remain closed for several hours. | |
Anyone with information about the incident is being urged to come forward. |
