The motorway which links Manchester to North Wales is getting \u00a312m worth of maintenance schemes to provide better journeys for drivers<\/h2>\n

Highways England<\/a> is carrying out a series of maintenance schemes along a 28-mile-stretch of the M56 during the next 12 months, including replacing the central reservation barrier near Warrington, revitalising a viaduct near Helsby, and resurfacing the motorway near Ellesmere Port.<\/p>\n

Work is due to take place next month to improve drainage on the section of the M56 near Manchester Airport (junctions 6 to 8) ahead of the main construction work on a major upgrade starting this autumn to reduce congestion and increase the motorway\u2019s capacity.<\/p>\n

Reduced speed limits and lane closures will be in place on parts of the M56 for the safety of drivers<\/a>, and road workers<\/a> are following strict Public Health England<\/a> safeguarding measures.<\/p>\n

A bridge maintenance scheme is also due to start this weekend at a junction on the A55, along the route from the M56 which links Chester to Wrexham in North Wales.<\/p>\n

Maintenance improvements for drivers<\/h3>\n

Gary Knowles, Highways England\u2019s head of scheme delivery in the north-west, said: \u201cThe M56 provides an important link between Manchester and Wales, and we need to carry out a series of maintenance improvements<\/a> to keep drivers safe and support essential journeys across the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe smoother road surface, better drainage and new central reservation barrier will improve safety for drivers, whether they\u2019re travelling to and from work, getting food to supermarkets or delivering medical supplies to hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re doing everything we can to keep workers safe and would urge drivers to do their bit too by sticking to the speed limit for their own and our road workers\u2019 safety.\u201d<\/p>\n
