Road closure notice extended with start of work on track for Spring next year

As part of our works to finalise the repairs needed at the landslip site, we have extended the closure of Leashaw until December 2026.

The extension is needed as we appoint a contractor to enable work to start on site next Spring, and as a contingency measure in case of any unforeseen complications during construction.

We expect the works to take around six months, with likely completion in the Autumn next year.

The road closure notice has been published on One Network - please use this link to view it: https://one.network/?tm=GB146660234

The landslip repair solution

Following detailed surveys and assessments by engineers, we intend to install micro concrete piles at the foot of the landslip collapse.

Once the piling work has been done, we'll recreate the shape of the slope using soil and then finish with grass seed.

The finished works will restore the site to how it looked before the landslip occurred.

The road surface will also be repaired prior to reopening.

We'd like to thank local people and businesses for their patience during the road closure and our detailed site investigations.
