At 5pm, National Highways confirmed the northbound carriageway would remain closed overnight so the safety barriers could be repaired.
A spokesman said: “The accident caused extensive barrier damage, and emergency repairs need to be taken out.
“The closures are essential to complete the repairs and ensure the safety of road users.
“Drivers[3] are reminded to plan their journeys, allow extra time for travelling and check traffic conditions before setting off.”
Drivers travelling northbound on the A56 will be diverted off at Rising Bridge.
The diversion route will then guide traffic on to the first exit of the roundabout leading to the A680.
At the A690/A679 junction, motorists should turn right onto A679 northbound.
At A679/A56 Western Roundabout the first exit will enable traffic to re-join the A56 northbound.
Lane 2 on the southbound carriageway is also closed to facilitate the emergency repairs.
