Motorists may face delays to their journeys in Chesterfield and Derbyshire over the bank holiday weekend.

Roadworks will be in place at two locations along Sheffield Road in Chesterfield. Temporary traffic lights will be in place at the junction with Hazlehurst Lane to allow for Western Power Distribution to undertake planned work, from today (Thursday, September 15) until Monday, September 19.

Derbyshire County Council are also undertaking a programme of maintenance close to the junction with Grove Road. The council are widening the footway, implementing traffic calming measures and installing new controlled crossings and drainage – as well as completing other generic highway improvements. Delays are likely on this section of the route, with work continuing until October 28.
