Passengers and travelers were reminded that there will be several closures along several junctions that might have a significant impact on their journeys and are therefore encouraged to check the road network websites for details, diversions and alternative routes that have been put into place in order to ease the concerns that they might have as much as possible and in order to ensure that they arrive wherever they want to go on time and with as little hassle or disruption to them as possible. Indeed, the Highways England team has announced that there will be several closures during the next following weekends, which will include the closing of junctions 7,8 (M56) as well as junction 19 along the M6.

These will take place from February the 17^th until the morning of the 20^th, meaning that alternative routes will need to be sought by those that might be affected. Whilst this may cause some disruption, it is undoubtedly essential that these be implemented so as to allow the ambitious Knutsford-Bowden installation of an all-new dual carriageway to be built in and set to be up and running as soon as possible for those that will benefit the most from it. Indeed, this is an ambitious building design and construction effort from Highways England, and the project itself is estimated to be worth a rather staggering £192 million. Indeed, Mister Paul Hampson of Highways England has also explained that careful and considered diversion have been put into place for the inconvenience this may cause to some passengers travelling along the A556 around the time of the closures.

Furthermore, Paul Hampson suggests that those traveling on the road to Manchester Airport during those weekend periods ought to look carefully at the alternative routes and networks that they can take to get there, since those wanting to catch planes on time will undoubtedly be well advised to consider the impact the disruptions could have on the amount of time that they have to catch their flights.
