Road resurfacing works are to commence at Gillot Hey and Wood Cottage in Derbyshire on Monday, 22 May.
Due to the extensive nature of the repairs and the narrow width of the single carriageway, the road will be closed 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.
A signed diversion will be in place during the works using the A57 Bamford, A6013, A6187, B6049, A623, A6, A624, and the A57 to Glossop.
The two sections of the route due for repair this month were badly damaged by heavy rainfall in February last year, during Storms Eunice and Franklin, causing major landslips of up to 2 metres. At the time, traffic lights at Gillot Hey and Wood Cottage, a 20mph speed limit and a 7.5 tonne HGV weight limit were put in place to protect the road from any further damage.
Following the wintry weather and recent heavy rainfall, urgent repairs are now needed which include removing the existing cracked and damaged road and replacing it with a new, much smoother surface.
During the works, access will be maintained for local residents in the area, deliveries and for farmers moving heavy equipment and their livestock.
