ALL lanes have now reopened on the M6 following emergency bridge repairs.

Drivers using the M56 were warned of delays this afternoon, Friday.

Two lanes were closed on the eastbound carriageway to allow engineers space to carry out emergency bridge repairs.

The lanes were closed between junction 12 for Runcorn and junction 11 for Daresbury, and the exit slip road at junction 11 eastbound also closed.

The work involved securing a panel which has become loose on an overhead bridge.

National Highways warned of 20-minute delays.
