Derbyshire traffic and travel: Woodhead Pass remains closed due to flooding

The A628 Woodhead Pass has been closed in both directions overnight between the A616 (Flouch) and the A57 (Hollingworth) due to the adverse weather conditions in the area.

National Highways said a review of the conditions has taken place this morning and there's some flooding in areas of the A628 which is in the process of being cleared. Once cleared and treated, plans will then be made for the road to be re-opened.

Road users are advised to use the M60, M62 and M1 as an alternative route.

Road users are also advised to allow extra time for their journey. Plan ahead, you may wish to re-route or even delay your journey.
