Although it now looks like a seamless part of the North Wales to M56 route, the section of dual carriageway between Ewloe and Shotwick traffic lights (A550/A5117 junction) dates back to the early 1960s. Until 1971 it was the only section of multi-lane road between Warrington and Abergele (where a bypass opened in 1968) via the A55 route. The Cheshire plain stretches out in the distance.
