Manchester Airport - M56 Closures

ESSENTIAL RESURFACING WORK TO GET UNDER WAY

Next month we’ll be starting work to resurface both the east and westbound carriageways of the M56 between junction 5 and 6, close to Manchester Airport.

The work also involves resurfacing slip roads as well as replacing road markings and bridge joints.

We’re starting our work on Monday 10 June and expect to complete it by the end of August 2024, working Monday to Friday, between 9pm and 5am (extended to 7am on Saturdays).

To minimise disruption, we’ll be working on the eastbound carriageway (towards Manchester Airport) ahead of the summer holidays. Additionally, we’ll only work on one side of the motorway at a time and overnight when traffic levels are lower.

Closure dates, times and locations

For the safety of our workforce and road users, we’ll need to put some full road closures in place.

The dates, times and locations of the overnight closures (9pm to 5am, extended to 7am on Saturdays) are outlined below.

M56 eastbound junction 6 to 4

• Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 June

• Monday 8 to Wednesday 10 July

M56 eastbound junction 6 to 5

• Thursday 13 and Friday 14 June

• Monday 24 to Thursday 27 June

• Thursday 4 and Friday 5 July

M56 eastbound junction 7 to 5

• Monday 17 to Friday 21 June

M56 westbound junction 5 to 6

• Monday 15, Tuesday 16, Thursday 18 and Friday 19 July

• Monday 22 to Friday 26 July

• Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 July

• Sunday 4, Thursday 8 and Friday 9 August

Two slip road closures affecting journeys to the airport will also be taking place:

• Eastbound exit slip at junction 5 closed on Friday 28 June

• Westbound exit slip road at junction closed on Wednesday 17 July
