A warning has been issued to people looking to travel on the M56 this weekend.
Drivers are being reminded the westbound M56 between Hale and Altrincham will be closed at times this weekend as National Highways works to finish its £85m upgrade. The upgrade will see an extra lane being added in each carriageway between junction 6 at Hale and junction 8 at Bowdon.
The plans also include "extensive" extra technology to help "smooth drivers’ journeys" through a section of the network carrying up to 100,000 vehicles a day, National Highways said. The westbound carriageway had been due to be closed for two periods this weekend including a daytime closure on Saturday.
