Important information, please share and spread the word
Derbyshire County Council is to close all high passes from 6pm.
(Don't forget no trains from 6pm which was announced yesterday)
👀 ❄️ The Met Office has issued warnings for significant snowfall across the county from 5pm tonight, so we’ve taken the decision to close several of our highest roads from 6pm tonight until they are safe to use:
• The A57 Snake Pass, from the junction with the A6013 to Glossop
• The A54/A537 Cat and Fiddle, from the junction with Leek Road, Buxton to the county boundary
• The A6024 Holme Moss, from the junction with the A628 to the county boundary
• The A53 Axe Edge, from the junction with Grin Low Road, Buxton to the county boundary
• The A5004, Long Hill, from the Horwich End traffic lights at Whaley Bridge to the A53 St John’s Road, Buxton
⛔ This is not a decision we have taken lightly, and is based on public safety. We understand that the National Highways will close the Woodhead Pass tonight, and it has been announced that there will be no trains through the Hope Valley from Manchester to Sheffield.
In addition the Via Gellia (A5012) is also closed tonight, from just after Woodside Cafe after the junction with the road to Bonsall up to Grangemill (the junction with the B5056).
🚗Please share this information with those you think need it. Heavy snow is forecast so please do not travel unless your journey is essential.
