All closures will be in place from 8pm until 6am. In March we removed existing gantries from the motorway.

To do this work safely we had three full overnight closures on the westbound carriageway. To make the most of these closures, we also carried out drainage surveys, road surface repairs, and some vegetation clearance from the verge.

During April we finished building the retaining walls at two of the Emergency Areas and four of the new technology sites. Each of these bridges cross the M56 and were in need of repairs.

Your kind donation will help make more fantastic memories for the most deserving children, so from all of us here, and the children and their families we support, a huge thank you!

The upgrade will reduce congestion levels and smooth traffic flows, providing more reliable journey times. We expect to complete our main construction work by March Construction will inevitably have some impact on road users, the local community and businesses. There will be a reduced speed limit of 50mph throughout our roadworks.

These measures are being put in place to allow road users to continue travelling through our roadworks without compromising their safety, or that of our workforce. We expect that the average journey time will only increase by a maximum of 2 minutes during our roadworks. We will need to use occasional overnight closures of the motorway to complete work which cannot be carried out safely with traffic using the road. We will keep closures to an absolute minimum in order to cause the least disruption possible.

Wherever possible, the noisier operations will be carried out during the day to reduce disturbance on communities. When closures are required, closure information will be advertised on Traffic England and sent to stakeholders via email.

Clearly signed diversions will be in place. A contraflow is a temporary arrangement where traffic is transferred from its usual side to share the other half of the carriageway with traffic moving in the opposite direction. This layout will provide a wider working space in the verge, allowing our teams to safely speed up certain construction activities. A contraflow will reduce the amount of overnight closures we need, which will benefit road users and residents living on diversion routes.

As there is more space in the verge to work, site vehicles will be able to pass each other without having to wait until another team has finished an activity. As there will be less traffic management to install overnight, this gives us a greater working window to complete the project quickly.

This four-mile stretch of road, which is linked to several arterial trunk roads, is a vital part of the network for commuters and heavy goods vehicles travelling into Manchester city centre. This section of the M56 carries in excess of , vehicles per day. Congestion and unreliable journey times are currently experienced at busy periods and traffic is predicted to grow in the future. A development firm called Bushwing Plc proposed turning the site into a full motorway service area.

It would have had a diamond-shaped amenity building. They included drawings of signs showing that the site would have been called 'Hapsford' and branded 'Bushwing', with a grey-on-green logo. That plan was given permission, but Bushwing changed their mind. In they came back with two options: option 1 would be built in the north-west corner of the junction, accessed from traffic lights on the A There was an additional picnic area with a take-away building, and a lodge behind the L-shaped amenity building.

This was refused permission. They also put forward their second option, which was on the site of the existing picnic area, but on a much larger site with community woodland at the back. This would have had a separate drive thru building, a lodge and a C-shaped amenity building. This was approved. Meanwhile, an applicant called Adamstan applied to build a rival site either side of the M56 at Hare's Lane.

This was refused. In , Shell put forward the plan for Chester services as it was eventually built, after an appeal. The amenity building was going to be closer to the forecourt, but was moved to leave space for the lodge.

For some reason, the area around the pylon originally supposed to be car parking was turned into what appears to be caravan bays, which are now closed off and abandoned. The biggest difficulty with the site was planning around the overhead power cables, and large pylon.

Shell chose to work with Roadchef to build the service area. Roadchef were originally intending to call the development Hapsford services , but at the last moment this was changed to Chester.
