Snake Pass to close from tomorrow for five days for urgent landslip repairs
manchestereveningnews.co.ukThe Snake Pass (A57) is to close to all traffic from tomorrow (May 22) for urgent repairs to be carried out. Drivers will be forced to find other routes as the popular route, through the Peak District, will be closed.
Resurfacing works will be carried out at the Gillot Hey and Wood Cottage landslips after the road was left badly damaged by Storms Eunice and Franklin last year.
The harsh weather caused major landslips of up to two metres with the recent heavy rain and cold winter conditions also damaging the road surface. Join the FREE Manchester Evening News WhatsApp community by clicking this link https://chat.whatsapp.com/BuWQWjcN6GbBPisjgI8HYv.
The community is now up and running so make sure you're among its first members! Due to the extensive repairs needed and narrow width of the single carriageway, Derbyshire Council will close the road to all users, including pedestrians and cyclists in both directions from the summit of the Snake Pass to the turning for the Upper Derwent visitor centre at Fairholmes.
