Friday 26th October 2018 1:00 pm

The R179 Regional Road from Carrickmacross to Kingscourt will reopen to road traffic today (Friday) at 13:30. The LP4900 local road to Drumgossat will remain closed until further notice.

An independent consulting firm, commissioned by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (DCCAE) has reviewed and verified the results of geological & hydrological testing carried out over the past four weeks by Gyproc Ireland Ltd and SRK Consultants and consider that it is safe to re-open the R179 Regional Road. Further testing and analysis of ground conditions in the vicinity of the LP4900 local road will continue over the coming days and this road will remain closed.

A revised one-way system is in place for local traffic wishing to access Drumgossat School and Church.
