The road will remain closed for the duration of the works, which are expected to be completed by the 27th January, 2023.

The council has outlined alternative routes available:

“Vehicles travelling Southwest will be redirected at Athgarvan Crossroads to the R416 to Kinneagh Cross. Traffic will then be redirected to R413 towards the Curragh to finish at the junction to the L2032.

Vehicles travelling Northeast will be redirected to the R413 towards Kinneagh Cross. Traffic will be directed at Kinneagh Cross to the R416 towards Athgarvan and finish at Athgarvan Crossroads.

Diversionary routes will be clearly signposted, as agreed with the Council and An Garda Síochána. Emergency access and restricted local access will be maintained.”
