The A556 forms an important link between the M6 and M56 motorways for traffic heading between Greater Manchester and the south. A new dual carriageway bypass between Junction 19 of the M6 at Mere and Junction 7 of the M56 at Bowdon was completed and opened in 2017. It bypasses Mere, Bucklow Hill, Millington and Rostherne which were often congested on the old, bypassed route, which has been designated as B5569.
