Bit of a warning for East of Manchester / Tamesiders going over Woodhead to pick up the M1 at Sheffield:
Roadworks opposite Dog and Partridge pub on A628 Woodhead Rd. as you go down the hill to the new Flouch roundabout. Luckily there’s a bacon butty stop in the lay-by so if it’s busy you can throw a passenger out whilst queuing.
Same again on A616 Stocksbridge bypass between McDonalds roundabout Tankersley and M1. If lots of traffic you can go North a mile at r/about and pick M1 up at next Junction.
Both controlled by temporary lights as it’s 1 way traffic and should be Okay Sunday morning & night but apparently it was shite yesterday (Thurs) at just gone 9am.
(Message received from Eddie and Joan down the Grapes, to the regiment!)
