Just looked it up and yeah the M56 one is going to be next to useless. Beyond causing absolute chaos for Manchester Airport as this won’t be done before the Summer rush or next years or 4 years time, it looks so short I just don’t see why they bother? Does that bit actually get any traffic except at the beginning of school Summer hols?
I assume the M27 upgrade is so they can cope with all the extra trucks that won’t be going via Southampton and Portsmouth? Hope it’ll be ready for March, and not 2022! 
That’s only a 5 mile stretch, can’t be too big of a fiasco surely?
Won’t achieve anything anyway, the Sharston link road at J3 is the cause of most traffic issues around there.
I live near Sharston and is a night mate at rush hour. The bit of m56 there doing wont make.amy difference really as it’s only about 4 miles.
Problem is like most areas around near me over last couple of years theve probably built 500 + still buliidng new houses/apartments say 1 car per house 250 extra cars on the road yet no new roads added . And not lot can do really just to much traffic on the roads
