Woodhead Pass Closures for Drainage Repairs | Manchester News

Woodhead Pass is shutting down again—this time for essential repairs on its historic Woodhead Cascade drainage system, requiring a giant crane and two separate two-day closures in late August. After reopening just weeks ago following a massive nearby moor fire, the road will close from midnight Monday, August 10th to 6 AM Wednesday, August 12th, then again from midnight Monday, August 24th to 6 AM Wednesday, August 26th. National Highways says delays were due to logistical issues, and the full project aims to finish by December 2026. Drivers: expect detours with clear signage.
