Mayo County Council have this morning confirmed that the new N5 dual carriageway from Westport to Turlough will be closed to facilitate essential maintenance works during periods between Sunday, July 30 and Friday, August 11.
The council have given notice that in accordance with Section 75 of the Roads Act 1993, these essential works are programmed for five nights (7pm to 6am). Advance notification of the start date will be provided via Mid-West Radio and Variable Messaging Signs (VMS). Roads will be opened earlier than stated if works are completed early.
Drivers will be told to use the old N5 road during this period and vehicles travelling on the N60/R308 Breaffy Road will be diverted on to the R309 (old N5).
Diversionary routes will be clearly signposted, as agreed with Mayo County Council and An Garda Siochana. Emergency access will be maintained.
