The section of Station Road (A6135) will be closed until the evening of Friday, May 20.

Part of Station Road in Renishaw is to be sloed for 10 days to allow for Network Rail to carry out some emergency repairs to the bridge running over the railway

A signed diversionary route will be in place, with the team making every effort to open the road sooner where possible.
