Traffic Management On Abbey Road Thurles, Co. Tipperary From Monday.

Motorists travelling into Thurles from the west side of town tomorrow morning, e.g. parents dropping students into the various educational facilities in the Town, please take note.

On Friday last, September 20th 2024, per the Tipperary County Council website, an announcement was posted stating that there will be Temporary Traffic Management on Abbey Road Thurles, Co.Tipperary (R-660).

The statement declares:- “Temporary Traffic Management on the R-660 Abbey Road, Thurles, Co. Tipperary. From the 23rd of September 2024 (Monday) to the 18th October 2024 (Friday). From 07.00hrs to 19.00hrs for the duration of the works. Traffic Management will be in place. Delays can be expected”.

The road hazard type is described as “Road Works”.

Interesting that, since this road was only upgraded just 3 years ago, (August 19th, 2021 view Here) with funding of €75,000 allocated to erect a basic road roundabout, which is constantly struck by heavy traffic, resulting in motorway signs being replaced, (Following month September 29th, 2021, view Here).

Do you think one of that workforces employees might oblige by dropping up to Kickham Street, armed with a shovel, to unblock a drain?
