A628 Woodhead Pass Still Closed | Manchester News

The A628 Woodhead Pass remains closed as firefighters battle a massive blaze that started in early June after a car caught fire and sparked a wildfire on the moorland. With a major incident declared on July 12th, crews from across the country — including helicopters — are working tirelessly to contain the fire. The road’s closure is essential for safety, preventing traffic from interfering with emergency operations. National Highways says the closure may last until at least Monday, July 27th, but that’s subject to change depending on firefighting progress.
