During this period, westbound traffic will be redirected at Junction 24 onto the R445 through Nenagh town, continuing via the R445 and N52 Limerick road before rejoining the motorway at Junction 26.

Vehicles on the R498 Thurles road intending to head west on the M7 will need to divert at Junction 25, travel through Nenagh via the R498, and follow the R445 and N52 before re-entering the M7 at Junction 26.

Access for emergency services will be maintained at all times, and temporary traffic management measures will be in place.

The closure follows a request from An Garda Síochána to accommodate the safe transport of an exceptionally large load.
