New Year's Day flooding closes parts of M6, M62, and M56 in Cheshire, disrupting traffic.

Flooding on New Year's Day has caused major disruptions on several highways in Cheshire, including the M6, M62, and M56. The M62 eastbound near Birchwood and the M6 northbound near Croft saw slow traffic and lane closures. The M56 westbound between junctions 6 and 7 is fully closed, as is Manchester Airport's M56, with contractors working to clear the flooding. Motorists are advised to use diversion routes and check updates on the Traffic England website or through travel apps.
