Derbyshire County Council is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the county's roads, including Hardstoft Road. The council has scheduled the works to take place during the night-time hours, when traffic volumes are typically lower, in an effort to minimise disruption to drivers. However, motorists are still advised to exercise caution and allow extra time for their journeys.

The road closure will be in place for a 48-hour period, from 00:00 on 16 August 2026 to 00:00 on 18 August 2026. During this time, traffic will be diverted, and drivers are advised to follow the recommended alternative routes.

For those who rely on public transport, it's worth checking with local bus operators to see if there are any alternative routes or timetables in place. Additionally, drivers may want to consider adjusting their schedules to avoid peak travel times, when traffic congestion is likely to be at its worst.
