M56 | Cheshire | Lane Restrictions | Long Delays 60 minutes

The M56 currently has delays of at least 60 minutes from J10 to J9, covering several miles of the eastbound carriageway. The delays are due to a road traffic collision with lane 1 (of 3) closed and Highways England has resources deployed working hard to restore normal conditions as soon as possible.

For traffic approaching the delays locally, you are advised to expect disruption with extra journey time and you may wish to re-route or delay your journey.  

If travelling towards this area from much farther afield, you may wish to change your strategic route, allow extra travel time and follow guidance from our on-road variable message signs and media.
