Are you saying the opening of MAELR (I'm assuming this refers to the A555 by-pass) has now been put back another 9 months, or are you meaning it will be open before then and therefore in place for next summer's peak holiday period at the airport? The latest official revised date I was aware of was something like late summer/early autumn 2018. Mind you, looking at the current status and rate of progress that seems highly doubtful.
The knock-on effect of the delays on this relatively short stretch of road have caused major problems for the airport.
