An extra motorway lane has opened for drivers on each carriageway of the M56 between Altrincham and Hale, National Highways have revealed.
Bosses said the move would help to improve journey times and 'reliability for the tens of thousands of drivers who use the route daily' between junctions six and eight.
National Highways said it lifted traffic cones and barriers on the upgrade at 6am, part of the continuing £85 million upgrade between junction six for Hale Barns and junction eight at Bowdon.
