A57 Snake Pass Closure February and March 2022

[classic33]

There were no other works today and Snake Hill perfectly usable. There was a helicopter dropping bags on Bleaklow but that is moorland a mile North of Snake Summit.

I doubt the road will be open any time soon. I seem to remember the concrete on the Alport bends was done in the 1980s and it took a hell of a time to fix.

The closure notice has been changed. It now extendeds to all road users.

The one you referred to is our of date.

That’s still only about a kilometre of road though.

As I'm feeling a bit left out can I just say that New Rd in Sundridge was closed last month. I rode round the cones and used it, cos I'm a webel.

I think it's spelt "Weeble"?

Hope you didn't fall down!

All these cyclists getting upset about a road closure. If you need to use it everyday as essential travel then fair enough (eg commuting, visiting sick relatives). If it's just for a jolly, then on yer bike, and use another road.

They don't seem half as upset as Cyclechat user "Fossyant"; have you tried listing all your posts on this thread? It presents a less-than carefree attitude to the closure. Just saying ...

I sneaked up there while the workmen were having a tea break. What a load of fuss about nothing - road closure, my a**e. It was a perfect opportunity to brush up on the old CX skillz!
