Bridges are currently under development at Bowdon, Tabley and Millington alongside work to clear land for a new roundabout as part of the remodelled M56 junction 7.
Earlier works by main contractor Costain included setting up the main project offices, installing boundary fencing and environmental mitigation measures.
Roads Minister Andrew Jones said: "The new road will divert heavy traffic away from local villages, making it is easier for residents to see friends and family and creating jobs and opportunities."
