“It’s a challenging location for our team, working on some of the highest ground in the county'
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.
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. “It’s a challenging location for our team, working on some of the highest ground in the county and in an exposed, rural location on a narrow stretch of road. The sites have already slipped and we want to make sure we have the time and space to successfully carry out the complex resurfacing repairs. The road is also used by heavy farm vehicles throughout the day and night and our own team will be out and about with heavy machinery to carry out the repairs.
