Snake Pass closure late Sept 22

Derbyshire County Council has announced that the A57 Snake Pass will close for four weeks from September 26, to allow specialist contractors to investigate the causes of a landslip in February at Alport.
 
The ground investigation is needed so that plans can be drawn up to fix the pass. During the closure the road at Woodhouse Cottage on the pass will be resurfaced.
 
The road will be closed to all users from Doctors Gate to Hagg Farm, a distance of 5.6 miles. The contractors will need to use the remaining piece of road at the Alport slip for a drilling rig, so there will be no possibility of any vehicles getting past.

Should anyone decide to travel on the Snake Pass during the work, there are turning places at either end of the closure.
