Athlone to birr road closed this week

Delays are expected on the N62 Athlone to Birr road this week during a major resurfacing project.

The stretch is shut to traffic from Kilgarvan, everyday from 8am to 6pm for resurfacing work until this Friday, September 5. Diversions via Castledaly are signposted and motorists are urged to add extra time to their journeys and be vigilant on the narrower, local roads.

Meanwhile, a major three week resurfacing job has also begun on the N61 Roscommon Road, close the Ganly's roundabout. Some disruption at peak times is expected.
