New aerial images of the \u00a343m M6 junction improvement in Cheshire have been released by Highways England<\/a><\/h2>\n

The images of Cheshire\u2019s M6 junction<\/a> reveal how much progress Highways England has been making since it started the project.<\/p>\n

Work to install a new bridge through the existing roundabout and over the M6 to link sections of the A556, began in March.<\/p>\n

The first aerial pictures of the work show how one of the most challenging construction projects in the region is taking shape \u2013 with the bridge foundations in the central reservation and carriageway verges being installed.<\/p>\n

\"M6<\/a>
The site\u2019s tight working spaces.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Reduce congestion<\/h3>\n

Highways England\u2019s senior programme manager Kennedy Muzira, said: \u201cThis new bridge through the roundabout and over the M6 will create a better flow of traffic between the motorway and the A556. This will speed up journeys and reduce congestion around the roundabout. There will also be improvements for pedestrians and cyclists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aerial photos show how much progress we\u2019ve made in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d like to thank users of the motorway and the A556 for the patience they have shown while we have installed traffic management to enable us to get this complex construction project<\/a> underway.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new bridge is due to open next summer after a complex operation this winter to lift the bridge beams into place and construct the new deck over the M6 junction.<\/p>\n

Current works<\/h3>\n

While preparation work like establishing a construction compound occupied the first weeks of the project, permanent work such as installing piled foundations for the bridge piers is now underway.<\/p>\n

The junction upgrade requires a large amount of heavy plant equipment at the site. The tight working spaces requires narrowed lanes and a 50mph speed limit which have recently been installed along a short section of the motorway under the roundabout to help create a safe working space for the construction workers.<\/p>\n

All preparation and construction work will be done in accordance with the latest government guidelines related to the Covid-19<\/a> outbreak.<\/p>\n

The improved M6 junction 19 will tie into the A556 Knutsford to Bowdon bypass. It will also complement the smart motorways already completed or underway in the north Midlands and Cheshire.<\/p>\n
