As already mentioned they’ve been trough that process once, they compulsory purchased all the houses between jcn 17 & 18, only to pull the plug and sell the houses off cheaply.
At jcn 25 Bredbury, the road is supposed to carry straight on and connect with the new A555 link road, this has been like that since late 1990’s when it opened.

If the Highways Agency or whichever body is concerned with roadworks fancies a template on how roadworks can run efficiently then all they need to do is look at the M1 works between 15 and 13, since they raised the speed limit to 60mph the difference in traveling through the works has been staggering, for the better obviously.
60s are being trialled through some roadworks at the moment with the intention of making it the norm if successful.
