Snake Pass Closure - update

25 January 2008

Update: Snake Pass is now re-opened to traffic but delays may still occur in both directions at Doctor's Gate Culvert. There are temporary traffic lights on Sheffield Road near the Hurst Road junction in Glossop and this work is due to continue until August 2008.

You can find out more about planned road works or for the latest travel news for Derbyshire visit the BBC travel website (opens in a new window).


Snake Pass has been closed by Derbyshire County Council following a major landslip due to heavy rainfall during the past two weeks.

The land is still slipping and we cannot assess the damage of the work that needs to be carried out until the land settles.

Snake Pass is closed between Glossop at Hurst Road and Ladybower but there is still access, including to the Snake Pass Inn.

We are monitoring the situation and will reassess the situation once the land settles.
