M56 motorway closures drivers need to be aware of

Overnight road closures will be in place on the M56 motorway during August and September for bridge construction works.

The route will be shut in one direction at affected times between junction 11 Preston Brook and junction 12 Runcorn to allow concrete pouring for a central pier. This will support the bridge once installed later in the year.

National Highways is building a £23m bridge over the M56, which will link the A533 Southern Expressway in Runcorn with Chester Road, leading to junction 11 of the M56 as well as Whitehouse Industrial Estate and Northwich to the south. The structure will replace its aging predecessor, which is to be demolished once the new crossing is in place.
