Motorists could once again face delays on the M56 this morning due to the closure of junction 12 for ongoing roadworks.

According to traffic website Inrix, a build up of vehicles is expected on the eastbound carriageway to junction 11 and back on to the westbound to junction 12.

The stretch is closed to allow construction workers to develop the new link between Halton and the M56 .
