Weston Point Interchange is a grade separated interchange where the A557 and A5126 join.
The junction was originally constructed as a with different priorities. The project to construct a new crossing of the Mersey to replace the Silver Jubilee Bridge brought with it changes to the strategic routes through the town. It was decided that rather than joining the M56 at a new Junction 11A, the existing Junction 12 would be modified to serve as an access for the new bridge. It was therefore deemed necessary to demolish the trumpet to cater for increased traffic flows from the Weston Point Expressway to the Weston Link. This was built in 2015-17 as a modified Directional-T interchange, folded because of constraints of the railway and existing development.
