Warning to drivers as M56 closed this weekend

Drivers are being warned as part of the M56 will be closed this weekend.

National Highways confirmed the closure of the M56 westbound near Runcorn will be taking place this weekend. The closure is needed as part of National Highways’ £23m project to replace the A533 Expressway bridge over the motorway, a spokesperson said.

The M56 will be closed between junctions 11 (Preston Brook) and 12 (Clifton Roundabout/Rocksavage Interchange) to install new safety barriers in preparation for the new bridge. The A533 Expressway will remain open during this weekend's westbound motorway closure.
