M6 closes for bridge repairs
4:20pm Monday 25th August 2008
THE M6 in Cheshire will be closed in both directions for one night next month to remove a damaged bridge.
A lorry struck the Hollowood Farm footbridge over the M6 between Knutsford and Lymm in July and it needs to be removed from the area.
The bridge is about one mile north of junction 19 and the motorway will need to be shut overnight from 10pm on Saturday, September 6, to carry out the work.
Highways Agency contractors say the closure could last until 9am on Sunday, September 7.
The work will be signed in advance to warn drivers and diversions will be signed on the night.
