⛔ Road closure next week on A6187 - 27 to 31 Oct - 9am till 3.30pm
If you use the A6187 from Hathersage to Hope, you’ll be aware that we’ve had traffic lights on this road for a fair amount of time while we fixed damage to retaining walls at Dalmar House and opposite the garden centre.
Annoyingly, just after this work was finished and the road fully reopened, a vehicle hit Mytham Bridge. Stone blocks weighing up to a quarter of a tonne were pushed into the River Derwent below. So the traffic lights were back....
To safely fix this damage we do need to close the A6187 from next Monday, 27 October until Friday 31 October from 9am until 3.30pm each day. There will be a signed diversion route in place - the A6187 / A625 / A623 / B6049 / A6187.
As the road will be closed for all traffic, including buses, this will affect the 271/272. During the road closure times, this service will stop at Bamford railway station on the east side of the closure, passengers will be met by the shuttle bus driver, who will walk with them along and over the footbridge to get on the shuttle bus for onward travel. The walk is around 300m. The same will happen in reverse for passengers travelling in the opposite direction. For further information please contact the appropriate bus company.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this work may cause.
