\n

The westbound carriageway will be closed at junction 5 from 10pm on Saturday night (22 November) and will re-open by 3am on Sunday morning (23 November).<\/p>\n

Drivers needing to access the airport can do so as normal at junction 5 but drivers heading further afield towards North Wales will need to use the M60, M62 and M6 to re-join the M6 at junction 9 at Lymm.<\/p>\n

The eastbound carriageway towards Manchester will be closed at junction 6 on Sunday from 10pm until 3am on Monday morning (24 November).<\/p>\n

Drivers heading towards Manchester Airport will need to take a short diversion from junction 6 as the normal access from junction 5 will be closed.<\/p>\n

Drivers seeking to travel beyond junction 6 towards Manchester will need to leave the M56 at junction 9 at Lymm and use the M6, M62 and M60 instead.<\/p>\n

Manchester Airport is advising customers to leave enough time to get there.<\/p>\n

The closures are being made to safely remove narrow lanes and a 50mph speed limit installed in the summer as part of a \u00a35.5 million bridge replacement scheme.<\/p>\n

The new bridge will be installed in February with a full weekend closure of the M56 between junctions 5 and 6. <\/p>\n

More information on the project is available on the Highways Agency\u2019s website.<\/a><\/p>\n

Further details on this weekend\u2019s work<\/a> is also available. <\/p>\n
