Snake Pass news

The first step towards a long-term solution for the Doctor’s Gate landslip on the Snake Pass will be made this summer when the road is closed for three weeks for investigations to take place.

From Monday June 15 to Friday July 3, the A57 will be closed between Glossop and Ladybower Reservoir and we’d like to apologise to drivers for the inconvenience while these important works are carried out.

Two drilling rigs needed to identify the scope and causes of ground movement at the site will completely block the road meaning it will be closed to all motorised traffic.

This includes:

• installation of new safety barriers to protect motorcyclists.
• repairs to potholes
• improvements to drainage
