Oker - Will Shores Lane

Following wet weather in December 2020 the C319 Oker Road (that runs from Darley Bridge to Oker village near Matlock) slipped in the new year.

Following on from the ground investigation work in July 2021, we were given a number of possible engineering solutions. These were evaluated and a predominately earthworks solution to regrade the slope has been chosen to be taken forward.

The repair programme is expected to start on Monday 3 June 2024 and will take up to 15 weeks to be completed, subject to weather conditions.

The repairs involve installing drainage to catch and redirect groundwater in the area to prevent future landslips.

Work will also be carried out to improve the support for the new road surface.

The repairs also include resurfacing Oker Road following damage caused by the landslip. Once completed, the road will reopen to 2-way traffic.

The diversion route remains as follows: Oker Road, Snitterton Road, Matlock Spa Road, A6 Derwent Way, A6 Bakewell Road, A6 Dale Road South, Old Road, B5057 Main Road, B5057 Eversleigh Rise, Oker Road.
