Ten miles of a major road to Sheffield has closed closed for landslip works.
The A57 Snake Pass is shut between Ladybower and Glossop for 18 days to allow investigations into a landslip at Doctor’s Gate near the summit.
Derbyshire County Council says it will reopen on Friday, July 3.
It has four landslips which threaten the future of the road due to the enormous cost of repairs.
They are Alport, Gillot Hey, Wood Cottage and Doctor’s Gate.
When open, it has two sets of lights, where the road is down to one lane, and a 7.5 tonne weight limit.
