Tipperary fans travelling to UPMC Nowlan Park have been warned to give themselves plenty of time to get there as they will have to contend with two sets of roadworks and temporary traffic lights on their way to Kilkenny if they travel the N77 via Durrow.
Latest information from Kilkenny GAA has warned fans of possible delays, with Tipp fans urged to take alternate routes by Kilkenny Garda Inspector Paul Donohoe.
Fans have been advised to follow the signs and the directions of gardaí
"There are two sets of roadworks with temporary traffic lights between Durrow and Ballyraggett - allow extra time," Kilkenny GAA advises.
Tipperary fans have instead been advised to avoid the roads with traffic works. Those coming from South Tipperary are advised to come up the Clonmel Road and the Callan Road, with adequate parking
For people coming from North Tipperary and West Offaly, Inspector Donohoe said a lot of people will be travelling via Roscrea. Major roadworks on the N77 near Ballyragget could cause delays, so people are advised to travel through Rathdowney and Johnstown and in through the Freshford Road, where there will also be car parking.
Important traffic advice for @TipperaryGAA & @Offaly_GAA supporters from Inspector Paul Donohoe ahead of tomorrow’s U20 Final.

Nowlan Park recently hosted 19,000 fans for the Kilkenny v Wexford clash which PRO Mary Morgan said was a good "dry run" for Saturday night's game.
With a capacity 26,000 expected for Saturday night's game, Ms Morgan said that game gave them an opportunity to iron out any small issues ahead of the U20 All-Ireland final.
Gates for the game will open at 5pm.
Ms Morgan advised people to arrive early in Kilkenny, especially as the city is also hosting the Cat Laughs festival.
A number of local clubs in Kilkenny will be providing parking and entertainment on the day as Kilkenny honours the 100th centenary of James Nowlan, who the ground is named after.
