Just had this from easyjet, for anyone travelling this way to Manchester Airport on these dates, need to find alternative routes..... Like me
We have been notified that, in connection with planned roadworks, M56 motorway will be closed in the period starting Friday 1st October to Monday 4th October and from Friday 8th October to Monday 11th October. The motorway will be closed from Junction 6 to Junction 8 for westbound traffic (cheading towards Chester) and from Junction 9 to Junction 7 for eastbound traffic (heading towards Manchester).
Copied from my email so not sure if I broke copywrite rules or not, but it's important

They've been cancelled apparently. Getting delayed until the end of the month I believe.
Not 100% though.
