Warning for Chesterfield drivers
During the fresh phase of work being carried out by Derbyshire County Council, disruption is expected for motorists using the A632 Hollis Lane where the permanent traffic lights will be replaced with temporary ones from 7am on Monday, March 7, until Wednesday, March 16, at the latest.
The council is also shutting the A61 southbound exit slip road before the already heavily-congested Horns Bridge roundabout.

A council spokesman said: "We would like to apologise for any delays."
The path is being installed as part of the Chesterfield Cycle Network, a long-term project to link shopping areas to the train and bus stations and main residential areas in the town.
Construction work on the path started last November and took place over three days.
