Athlone car park and two streets to be closed for resurfacing next week

Resurfacing works in the centre of Athlone next week will result in the closure of a car park and two streets, Westmeath County Council has said.

The majority of the disruption will occur around Market Square car park and the adjoining Castle Street, both of which will be closed from 7pm on Tuesday next, June 8, until Thursday afternoon.

The local authority said the closures were necessary "to facilitate resurfacing and lining works".

A similar closure is planned at Strand Street and Custume Place on the afternoon of Wednesday next, June 9. Traffic diversions will be in place via Church Street.

The council apologised to the public for any inconvenience that may be caused.
