Why is Lymm Interchange so critical?
The Lymm Interchange is where the M6, a key north-south route, meets the M56, which connects Manchester to North Wales. Its strategic location means any disruption, such as today's crash, creates a ripple effect across the regional road network, including the M62 towards Manchester, as drivers seek alternative routes.
