A556 Motorway Dual Carriageway Linking Knutsford With Bowdon

Passengers and vehicle using commuters using the A556 motorway will receive the Christmas present of their lives when they find out that the dual carriageway linking Knutsford with Bowdon along the much-used A556 will finally be open for use. These ambitious intentions to improving the speed rates and consistency of the roads along this route are seemingly coming to a close. Within the next 31 days, the penultimate processes to get the dual carriageway ready for operational use will be implemented for once and for all. Towards the middle of February however, commuters and travelers will need to be made aware that the A556 will require to be shut down in order that such essential renovations can take place.

The road area located in between junctions 19 and 7 will obviously be affected by this and will necessitate the diversions of users so that the repairs can take place in order to ensure that the location is available for commuters to use by the closing days of March 2017. Mister Paul Hampson, one of the leading managers of the Highways England initiative, which dedicates itself every year towards ensuring the safeguarding and maintenance of motorways and roadworks across the country, is pleased that through the collaboration of affiliates in the road safety and help services as well as the airport of Manchester the plans are going ahead and the carriageway will become a success and effective means of transportation and construction planning.

On the weekends in mid-February and early March, the A556 itself will not be available for use to the public at all, ensuring that Highways England can fully devote itself to the essential building works to enable the new carriageway to be a pleasure for all to use. Costing a pretty sum of 192 million pounds, the project is no cheap off-the-cuff initiative, and Highways England are set to do what they can to enable the project to work for users all along the A556.
