The L-1017 road in Ballinamuck will be closed from 2pm to 8pm to facilitate St Patrick’s Day parade. Diversion details below
To facilitate the Ballinamuck St Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday March 15, Longford County Council will be closing the L-1017 local road in Ballinamuck from 2pm until 8pm.
Upon completion of the parade, and if deemed safe for access, roads may be re-opened in advance of the advertised time.
As the parade route is from Gaigue Cross to The 98 Bar, Longford County Council have outlined the alternative routes road users can avail of.
Said the council, “Traffic from Gaigue Cross should proceed on the R198 to Legga Cross junction (L-1023), then turn left and left again at Legga Church onto the L-1024 and proceed to the ‘98 Crossroads.”
“Traffic from the ‘98 crossroads should proceed north along the L-1019 to Legga Church, turn right onto the L-1023 to Legga Crossroads (R198) and turn right again onto the R198 towards Gaigue Cross.”
Traffic management and signed diversions will be in place at Gaigue Cross and at the 98 Bar junction with stewards at both points for the duration of the closure.
