A555 MAELR/Hazel Grove and Poynton Bypass

Scheme Outline
Construction of a new dual carriageway bypass from M60 j25, around the south of Hazel Grove, connecting to the existing A555; also a westward extension of the A555 to meet the M56 Manchester Airport spur road. This is a scaled-down version of plans drawn up in the 1970's for a motorway on the same line, becoming a grade-separated dual carriageway west from Hazel Grove. Its resurrection is due to the SEMMMS multi-modal study.
As of June 2007, central government has declined to fund the road and its construction in its present guise looks unlikely. However, given that it has appeared in many various guises since 1962, it is likely that it will rise from the dead once more before too long.
