Clear of the river Dee crossing, the road toward Manchester has been transformed from the simple dual carriageway of the early 1960s to a quasi-motorway with free-flow junctions throughout until the route flows seamlessly into the M56. Whether three or four lanes each way is merited is a moot point. It certainly creates an interesting chicane on the westbound carriageway, as can be seen.
