A section of the Snake Pass is to close for five days for repairs after major landslips. The A57 will be shut to all traffic, from Monday, 22 May, for resurfacing works to be carried out at Gillot Hey and Wood Cottage.
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.

The repairs will include removing the cracked and damaged road, and replacing it with a "new, much smoother surface". 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.
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.
