Yeah, it's annoying as it's a road I regularly use, and was so much better after the recent resurfacing

Just have to enjoy the other great roads around here

Sometimes a closed road can make a better playground, if you can ride up to the closed bit and back... My favourite stretch of road got closed at one end last year and there's only 2 houses on it above the closure, so it was essentially an empty road. Ace!

Went up there today and Snake is still closed from the lights at Ladybower - but, on a bike you can slip round the barrier...

TBH I didn't go very far past the barrier, so didn't get to where the landslide is meant to be... needs further investigation
