One of the options openly circulated is for a large roundabout or interchange somewhere close by with the bypass then continuing on behind the present road and onto/joining the current Handforth/Bramhall bypass road
The Manchester Airport Eastern Link Road was planned for some time ago - indeed part of it is already constructed as can be seen in this aerial photo/map

I would say that it's a certainty that the western part of the MAELR will join up to the Western end of the existing bit of road (they already have the bridge in place to let the B5358 go under it. The bit up for discussion is the exact alignment of the bit between there and the airport, the junction layouts and the layout of the Eastern section. There's a site from the planning team here :

Now - with such a good road linking Manchester and Woodford, how about MAPLC buying Woodford and using it to increase capacity further !? It's good to see the planners at least haven't put the new road straight through EGCD's runway
