Works at The Strand to continue

Traffic will remain closed at The Strand, Athlone until next month due to ongoing works being undertaken by the OPW.

It will be closed to traffic from its junction with Friary Lane to its junction with Griffith Street until Friday, March 24. Pedestrian access will be maintained.

To allow local access for the residents of Griffith Street and Wolfe Tone Terrace, the one-way system on Griffith Street will be suspended for the duration of the works and a two-way temporary traffic management system will be in operation.

Westmeath County Council apologise for any inconvenience caused.
