Section of the M56 closed all weekend-Video

This weekend, we’ll be closing the M56 in both directions for one full weekend to lift the new bridge into position.

The closure will be in place between junctions 11 (Preston Brook) and 12 (Sutton Weaver), from 9pm Friday 28 October until 6am Monday 31 October 2022. At the same time, we’ll also need to close the A533 Expressway bridge.

Clearly signed diversions will be in place. These are shown below. Motorists are asked to follow these during the closures. Please do not use satnav when following a diversion. Thank you for bearing with us.
