A57 Closure ??

Gordon said:

I saw a road sign somewhere recently which said "A57 CLOSED.

ISTR an announcement many months ago of a closure between Glossop and
the Snake summit, but I don't know whether it is still the case.

Anyone shed any light on it? I'd hate to have to detour if I decide to
plan a walk in that direction....

It wasn't closed last week, it was all open and no signs of roadworks.

A quick google reveals this

so that might be what you saw.

Road works and resurfaceing. It was tipping it down and washing the laid
bed away apparantly so the TRO was extended a few days. It should be open
now.

Good heavens! July 2003? They should be starting it soon!
I must have been in a time warp......
Thanks.
