The Manchester Airport site is reporting planned closures to the M56 in both directions from junctions 9 to 6 for the next two weekends, with the slip road at junction 7 closed for the whole week.

UPDATE: The section of the M56 between junctions 6 and 9 will now be closed for a third weekend:   from the evening of Friday 29th October to 5am on Monday 1st November.  The closure over the weekend of Friday 22nd – Monday 25th October will now only be to the Eastbound carriageway between junctions 6 and 9.

I assume this means that the slip road at junction 7 will now be closed until 1st November.

As the Manchester Airport site reports:

This weekend we successfully demolished Bowdon View bridge. However engineers were unable to complete the construction of a pillar in the centre of the motorway to support the new bridge. This means we will have to extend work into a third weekend.

The Manchester Airport website also has some nice PDFs showing suggested diversions.
