Snake Pass Pennines Road Too Expensive To Repair

GLOSSOP, UNITED KINGDOM - FEBRUARY 06: An aerial view of Ladybower Reservoir and the the A57 Snake Pass making its way through the Peak District and over the Pennines on February 06, 2025 in Glossop, United Kingdom. Derbyshire Country council says it cannot afford the repairs to Snake Pass, a 200-year-old serpentine-twist road connecting Sheffield and Manchester which affords unrivalled views of the Peak District. It has become dangerous to drive along and is frequently closed in the winter due to ice and snow and landslips. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
