Hi
I travel the length of the M56 daily, and will update if there are any changes, as there were last time it was supposed to close.
This is what is supposed to be happening:
The bridge will be demolished on the weekend commencing Friday 15th October to Monday 18th October. The new bridge will be installed the following weekend, commencing on Friday 22nd October to Monday 25th October.
so it will be closed Both Weekends, but as previously said I will Update any changes.

Also remember that during the week in between all traffic for the M6 southbound will be directed to Junction 10 to perform a U turn so traffic will be very slow west bound, this is due to Junction 7 being closed for the whole week.

Again a reminder M56 Closed Friday 29th Oct 10pm until 1 Nov 5am
It looks as if this may be the last closure as there are NO signs in place for future dates.
