The length of trunk road ceasing to be a trunk road is between its junction with the A38 Trunk Road at Watchorn Roundabout (and including the Roundabout’s circulatory carriageway), at Alfreton (marked “A” on the plan), and continuing in a northerly direction through Clay Cross, Chesterfield, and around Dronfield, to the border between the County of Derbyshire and the City of Sheffield at Boundary Brook about 200 metres north of the Bowshaw Roundabout (marked “B” on the plan), all in the County of Derbyshire. It is shown by broad black dashes on the plan and is approximately 30 kilometres in length.
