Coun Simon Spencer, Derbyshire County Council Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Infrastructure, said: “This is essential repair work necessary to make the road safe and reliable for all road users.

“We appreciate that roadworks may cause disruption to motorists but while the road is closed we will also be taking the opportunity to carry out other highway improvements such as tree cutting and verge clearance.”

A signposted diversion will be in place. The alternative route is via the A6013, A6187, B6049, A623, A6, A6015, A624, A57 and vice versa.
