RESURFACING works have been completed on one of the busiest routes into Ennis.
On Thursday and Friday of last week, a temporary traffic management system was put in place to facilitate resurfacing work to the R469 on the Quin Rd in Ennis, the works were undertaken by Clare County Council.
Staff of the Roads Section of Ennis Municipal District completed the works on a 400m, 2,500sqm stretch of the road at Ballaghboy on Friday evening. The local authority said that road markings will be installed shortly. Significant resurfacing works on other sections of the R469 were completed last autumn.
Meanwhile the Old Bog Road also known as Plunkett’s Rd which connects the N85 dual carriageway to Ennis via the Quin Rd remains closed all this week. This is to allow for trenching works as part of the National Broadband Ireland (NBI) project.
This closure has been in place since Monday morning and lasts until Friday (July 5th), the works are ongoing from 7am to 7pm. Local access will be maintained throughout the durations of the works and relevant diversions will be in place.
NBI this week are also carrying out works by Carney’s Bar on the R474 in Connolly this week with slight traffic delays as a result.
