A6 Chapel bypass to get annual maintenance and clean

Lanes restrictions will be in place on the A6 Chapel bypass for four days for an annual 'spring' clean by Derbyshire County Council. 

Each summer the council, with the help of the district and borough councils including High Peak, carry out a maintenance programme on all the dual carriageways in the county. 

From 7am to 3.30pm from Monday 31 July to Thursday 3 August, there will be lane closures on the A6 Chapel bypass to allow work to take place such as grass cutting, picking up litter, emptying the gullies and drains and fixing any potholes. 

Councillor Charlotte Cupit, Derbyshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Highways Assets and Transport, said: “Once a year we give all our dual carriageways a ‘spring’ clean. We used to do this in the spring, but now we don’t start until July so that we are kinder to nature.

"By letting the grass grow a bit longer and giving some species longer to flower or seed we’re helping give our local environment and wildlife a boost.

“By working together with different teams and our district and borough council partners, we can work faster and reduce our impact on those travelling." 

The council would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.
