Manchester Airport bosses have issued a warning to passengers due to depart in July and August.
Holidaymakers are being advised to leave extra time for the journey to the airport with roadworks about to commence on the M56. The work is due to begin on Monday (July 18) and end on Friday, August 5.
Full overnight closures will be in place between Junctions 7 and 5, eastbound. This means anyone travelling to the airport from the west, including Liverpool and Cheshire, can expect it to take longer to arrive at the airport than it usually would.
