M56 - North Cheshire Motorway - Time Lapse

A time lapse video of the entire length of the M56 motorway running from Manchester in the East, to just beyond Chester in the West, almost to the Welsh border, sped up 4 times - so it allows you to imagine driving at speeds of up to 280mph! In fact, it only takes just over 7 minutes to complete the entire 33 miles (53km).
The eastern part of the motorway forms Manchester's main link to the M6 heading south. The eastern part is also busy with traffic to Manchester International Airport. The western part connects to Cheshire's main industrial areas including Stanlow Oil Refinery, as well as several large towns, Chester and the Wirral. The stretch is also well used by visitors entering North Wales, and for freight wanting to get to Ireland via the port at Holyhead.
An interesting feature is the lack of a junction 13. Were the builders superstitious, or perhaps there were plans for something else?
