This closure is due to take place between the hours of 7pm and 6am between Monday, July 14, and Sunday, July 27 for up to five nights.
The stretch of road will start at the R5/R309 in Turlough, and continue along the dual carriageway as far as the roundabout outside Westport.
Diversions will be in place for the duration of the grass cutting, and all traffic will be diverted onto the R309, also known as the old N5. All diversions will be clearly signposted, both by the Council and An Garda Síochána. Full details are available at the link below.
