Derbyshire County Council says a section of 'the road will be closed to all users, including pedestrians and cyclists' — road.cc has contacted the council to ask if riders will still be able to enjoy the car-free non-closed sections of the pass cycling
The road was badly damaged by heavy rainfall in February last year, during Storms Eunice and Franklin, causing major landslips and prompting last year's repairs, but following a harsh winter 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".
"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. "With the weather conditions now improving, we've taken the opportunity to carry out repairs to the two sections of road damaged by the last year's landslips as soon as we could and before the busy bank holiday weekend," cabinet member for highways assets and transport, Cllr Kewal Singh Athwal explained.
