Tipperary drivers warned after road tar melts on some routes
Tar has melted on an 10km stretch of road outside Nenagh
As temperatures hit 28 degrees in parts of Tipperary today, warnings have been issued after the tar on some roads has melted.
Reports are that the tar on almost 10 kilometres of road from Coolbawn Cross towards Drangan has melted, making driving conditions hazardous.
Cllr Michael ‘Chicken’ Brennan advised of the road conditions, and that motorists are requested to avoid the area and use alternative routes “for the remainder of today and tomorrow” while temperatures remain high.
Othere have reported that the road is “very bad” from Rathronan Cross to the Cashel Road.
