A555 or M555? Manchester

The Manchester A555 was it ever planned as a motorway? Perhaps to connect to the projected A6(M) Stockport north / south bypass? Well this scan from a 1988 'Reader's Digest' Road Atlas has the tell tale blue dashed line to say 'projected motorway'.

On the B5358 - formerly the A34. This should be the A555 heading out towards Poynton, the A523, Hazel Grove and the A6. If you have sharp eyesight, you might be able to see a green road sign among the greenery - this is where the eastbound sliproad from the B5358 joins the imaginary mainline of the A555.

This bridge carries the ex-A34 over the non-existent A555 which takes imaginary traffic between the A6 and Manchester Airport, Confused? You should be!

Well nothing underneath, at least. This should be the A555 but it isn't!

The Wilmslow Road, near the Lakeland shop, has for many years run across an orphan bridge.

The bridge stood for more than 15 years above an increasing jungle; all of this was swept away in 2016. On December 3rd 2016, the bridge now stands above the base levels of the new (westward) extension of the Manchester Airport A555 Eastern approach road as it marches towards Styal Road and the airfield.

Roll on summer 2017!

Looking East. In a year, the Manchester Airport Approach road should merge into this road from the right, through the yellow pillars which support the airfield approach lights.

The new A555 road alignment has to "thread the needle" over Styal Road, crossing the railway line to the south and then the railway line into the airport (which lies in a cutting just behind the wire fence to the right of this road).

This scene has already changed in recent years, with the Metrolink (tram) line, visible on the left of the picture, now running past the photographer's left shoulder and then under this road into the Airport Transport interchange.
