Tipperary County Council has announced it is extending the closure of the L-4156 Ballymureen to Pouldine. 

The road is currently closed to facilitate the installation of a new water main. 

The works are in two phases, with the first west of the N62.

That section of road will reopen at midnight on June 14, 2024. 

Until then traffic travelling west towards Holycross will be diverted towards Thurles on the N62.

Traffic travelling south on the R639 will continue as far as Horse and Jockey before turning right onto the L4150 in the direction of Thurles, crossing the M8 intersection to join the N62 and continuing. 

 Traffic travelling east on the L-4156 from Holycross and traffic travelling south from Thurles on the N62 will continue on the N62, crossing the M8 intersection onto the L-4150 to Horse and Jockey, turning left on the R-639.
