This page lists unplanned incidents only: collisions, breakdowns and obstructions reported on the M56. For the full picture including roadworks see M56 traffic, and for what’s shut this weekend see M56 closures.
The M56 links Manchester and its airport with Chester and the North Wales coast road. Airport junctions 5 and 6 dominate the traffic pattern, and the interchange with the M6 at Lymm is a regular queue in both directions. Live incidents, roadworks and closures along the route refresh every 5 minutes.
