Cars STILL underwater on the closed A555 Manchester Airport Relief Road following New Year's floods

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Cars remain submerged in water and stranded on the A555 almost a week after it was first hit by flooding. Sections of the Manchester Airport Relief Road, which is notorious for flooding, were left under several feet of water after heavy rainfall sparked widespread severe flooding on New Year's Day and saw a major incident declared by emergency services in the region.

Pictures from the dual carriageway last Wednesday (January 1) showed a number of cars floating in the water with only the top of their roofs visible.

The section of the road near the Wilmslow Road bridge, close to the border of Stockport and Handforth, Cheshire, has been closed ever since.

Despite some sections briefly reopening on Friday, further rain and snow this weekend caused further issues and, at the time of writing, it remains closed between Woodford and the airport.
