On Wednesday October 9, Halton Borough Council begins work on the A56 Chester Road , Daresbury, from Junction 11 of the M56 roundabout to the Warrington borough boundary.
This work is to facilitate major maintenance work which will be taking place to reconstruct and resurface the carriageway.
It will include milling and excavating existing carriageway material, renewal of ironworks, re-lining the drainage network, constructing a new traffic signal junction and re-laying the surface with hot rolled asphalt.
The work will take approximately 12 months.
During the work, traffic travelling along the A56 will be in contraflow, reduced from two lanes in each direction, and this current work is to build a central reserve crossover to enable this to happen.
The first contraflow will run on the south side from 9 October to 18 March, and then the traffic will switch sides for the remained of the works.
The contractor responsible is Balfour Beatty, and Halton Borough Council will be supervising the work.
