TRAFFIC: Road closure on the M7 motorway
A Kildare road will temporarily close periodically next month for five days, the county council (KCC) has confirmed.
KCC, on behalf of Coffey Construction, said it "gives notice in accordance with Section 75 of the Roads Act, 1993 and the Roads Regulations, 1994 that it will close Pigeon lane periodically during the period commencing Monday, April 11, 2022.
This will be done to facilitate the installation of a new road junction complete with all services at the entrance to the housing development.
Specifically, KCC will close Pigeon Lane from the L7014 Green Road to the R445 on and off over five days.
