The road slipped again twice in the winter of 2021 to 2022 and these further landslips mean that the road is now not safe for anyone to use, so the road is closed to everyone, including pedestrians, cyclists and those on horses to protect public safety. This decision has been taken after detailed consultation with our geotechnical consultants who feel the risk of further collapse is high. Please do not ignore the road closure signs.
A ground investigation at the Limetree Wood landslip was successfully undertaken from 11 to 22 October 2021 and we're currently evaluating the results.
The diversion route is: B6012 Rowsley Road, B6012 Chatsworth Road, A6 Dale Road North, B5057 Chesterfield Road, B5057 Sydnope Hill, Screetham Lane Beeley.
