TPT Closure at Staveley

Two sections of the Trans Pennine Trail at Staveley in Derbyshire will be closed for the period of 2 years from April 2007, to allow for the construction of the new Staveley Northern Loop road (A6197). These sections will be closed to all users.

1. The section of the Trail going north from Hall Lane at SK431750, under Eckington Road Bridge, to the junction with the Arkwright Line at Lowgates SK437753 (for approximately 0.5 miles) will be closed for the duration of the construction period.

2. The section going south (passing the end of Pullman Close) from SK437749, under the A619 road bridge, to the end of Brindley Way at SK435745 (for approximately 0.3 miles) will also be closed for the duration of the construction period.

Maps showing the locations of the Trail closures will be located on the ground at access points where the Trail is closed. Also, alternative routes will be signed on the ground to guide walkers and cyclists on an alternative route through Staveley - some of which will be off-road or on pavement. Unfortunately a suitable alternative route has not been found for horseriders, due to there being no acceptable way for horses to cross the A619 safely."
