A57 Manchester Road Landslip Closure

Essential landslip repairs will cause major disruption on the A57 Manchester Road near Rivelin Dams this spring. The works are needed to stabilise the hillside and protect the long‑term safety of the route.

Full closure: 20th April–2nd June between Onksley Lane and Wyming Brook Drive. 
Single‑lane traffic with temporary lights: One week before the closure and five weeks after. 
Expect delays: Peak‑time queues and pressure on diversion routes are likely throughout the programme. 
Pedestrian access: Footpaths in the immediate area will also be restricted.

A significant landslip beneath the carriageway requires engineers to rebuild supporting structures and stabilise the slope. The scale of the work means a full closure is unavoidable for part of the project.

Allow extra time for journeys into Crosspool from the west. 
Check travel updates regularly as traffic management changes. 
Consider alternative routes where possible.
