East of the junction the road is single carriageway and crosses the A41 road and Intersects at the M53 motorway. The intersection with the M53 is just east of Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet Village. The road then continues almost parallel to the M56, until it intersects at junction 14, at which there is a relitively new motorway services. The road then continues to the A56 road.

[edit] Future Plans

This article contains information about a planned or expected future road. It may contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change dramatically as the road's construction and/or completion approaches and more information becomes available.

There are plans to upgrade the A5117 on a section west of the M56 motorway. It is regularly congested, however this section is currently in the early process of being upgraded to grade separated 2-lane dual carriageway standard [1]. The Government decided that a motorway standard M56 extension would be too environmentally damaging, and instead opted for a route utilising part of the existing road without widening works, whilst providing off-line bypasses for all of the at-grade junctions. The improvements will tie in to recently completed works over the Welsh border which upgraded the A550 to motorway standard.
