Kilmorey Street will be closed at night for the next two weekends due to ongoing resurfacing works. Roads Service plans to resurface Kilmorey Street from the traffic lights at William Street to Greenbank Roundabout Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights on May 9, 10 and 11 and on May 16, 17 and 18 between 9.30pm and 6.30am. A Roads Service spokesperson said: “This will unfortunately and unavoidably cause disruption to local residents, businesses and the motoring public in general. Roads Service has looked at various alternatives to this and due to the dramatic reduction in traffic volume at night and the absence of a suitable diversion to deal with daytime traffic flows have decided that night time surfacing works is the only solution. To ensure that this work is carried out as efficiently and effectively as possible it is necessary to prohibit parking on Kilmorey Street during the above times.” Only local residents will have vehicular access during these road closures from either William Street or Greenbank roundabout depending on where the concentration of work is at that particular time. Residents that have any queries about the scheme or require further clarification on any of the above points should telephone (028) 3025 3333)
