M56 Lighting Upgrade To Be Installed
A scheme to install a new lighting system at the M56 Junction 9 Lymm interchange will get underway on Sunday October 28.
Engineers will replace the existing overhead lights on the link roads that connect the M56 with the M6.
The project is the final phase of upgrades to the ageing lighting system on that section of the road.
Highways Agency Project Manager, John Mather, said: "This project will bring the lighting on the link roads up to the current standard and make things much clearer for motorists.
"The existing lights are very old now and need replacing. We ask for motorists' patience while we carry out the work as it will benefit them in the long run."
The upgrade will affect the link roads from the M56 west bound to the north and southbound M6 and A50. Also affected are the link roads from M6 northbound onto the M56 westbound and A50 .
Work will be carried out overnight and outside of rush hour periods. Some weekend closures will be needed to the link roads leading to the A50 roundabout. Clearly signed diversions will be in place.
The scheme is due to be completed by late March 2008.
