Frequent users of the A6 between Ambergate and Bakewell will find two new sets of roadworks next week, which are likely to cause diversions and hold-ups for vehicles, including buses.
From Monday (January 5), resurfacing work will be taking place on the A6 between Ambergate and Whatstandwell for up to three weeks.
This will mean closing the road from 7pm to 5am weekday nights only, subject to weather and site conditions. Diversions will be sign-posted.
Further north, from Monday (January 5) through to Friday, March 27, temporary two-way signals will be in place on the A6 Hadddon Road on the approach to Bakewell near Haddon Hall, to allow Cadent to carry out gas main work.
This will inevitably cause delays to bus service 6.1 the sixes and High Peak..
Also starting on Monday, there will be work taking place to remove trees affected by ash dieback disease along the Via Gellia.
It will be impossible to travel along the road (A5012) on weekdays from 8am until 4pm, from just after Woodside Cafe at the junction with the road to Bonsall up to Grangemill (the junction with the B5056).
There will also be a short-term closure of the road from Cromford to Bonsall towards the end of February. Signed diversions will be in place when the road is closed via A6 Matlock Bath, A6 Matlock, A6 Darley Dale, A6 Bakewell, A6 Taddington, A6 Blackwell, A5270, A515 Newhaven, A5012 to Grangemill and vice versa . All work is expected to be completed by February 28.
