Derbyshire traffic and travel: Road closed due to serious collision

Drivers are being warned of delays on the A628 Manchester Road in Tintwhistle due to a serious collision overnight

Derbyshire Police said the road has been closed from Mottram Road to Flouch following the incident last night and to allow crash investigation work to take place

The road will remain closed for some time and drivers are asked to avoid the area and take alternative routes.

The nearby A628 Woodhead Pass has now partially re-opened to traffic, after the long-running wildfire on Peak moorlands.

Give/take traffic is in operation both ways between Tintwistle and A6024 Woodhead Road (Holmfirth Turn Off). The road has now been reopened following a car fire that spread to the woodland adjacent to the A628 on the 16th of July.

Also in the High Peak, the A54 Cat and Fiddle is closed until late October for repair works

Derbyshire County Council said the work was needed to improve the road surface, drainage and road safety, and also strengthen the earth banks.
