Two more city streets to close

-

Irish Water say Union Street and Connolly Street will be next to close to traffic soon as part of the ongoing Sligo City Water Main Rehabilita­tion and Sewer Network Project.

From midnight on Monday, until midnight on Monday, November 13 Union Street will be closed to traffic, remaining open to pedestrian­s.

Works are also due to start on Connolly Street on Monday, November 6 until Friday, December 1. As part of this section of works Connolly Street will be closed to traffic between these dates with pedestrian access maintained.

Works on both streets will be carried out from 7am to 7pm daily and will be completed in time for the busy Christmas period.

Traffic diversions will be in place.

O’Connell Street, currently closed to traffic, is set to reopen from Friday but there will continue to be some night time closures.

The Sligo City Water Main Rehabilita­tion and Pearse Road Sewer network Project involves the rehabilita­tion of approximat­ely 8.7km of new water mains, the installati­on of 1.5km of foul and storm sewers in the Pearse Road area of Sligo City together with the installati­on of a petrol intercepto­r on John F Kennedy Parade.

The project also includes the replacemen­t of all service connection­s including any lead services encountere­d along the way. The project will reduce leakage and improve the water supply service to householde­rs and businesses in Sligo City.
