Major traffic disruption planned as busy Tipperary road set for 10-day closure
Diversions will remain in place for more than a week as resurfacing works get underway on a key North Tipperary route.
Motorists travelling between Nenagh and Borrisoleigh are being advised of a planned road closure on the R498 at Kilkeary next month.
Tipperary County Council has announced its intention to temporarily close a section of the regional road from Kilkeary Cross Roads to Ballinamona Cross Roads to allow resurfacing works to take place.
The proposed closure is scheduled to run from 7am on Wednesday, June 24, until 7pm on Friday, July 3.
Southbound traffic travelling from Nenagh towards Borrisoleigh will be diverted at Kilkeary Cross Roads via the L6078 to Norwood, before continuing along the R445 to Toomevara and the R499 to Ballinamona. Northbound traffic heading towards Nenagh will follow the reverse diversion route.
The council said the temporary closure is necessary “to facilitate the resurfacing of the R498 Kilkeary, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary.”
