In a statement this evening, Longford County Council have revealed the L1102 between Mitchell’s pub in Legan village and the junction on the R393 at Raharney will close this evening (Wednesday) at 6pm until 6pm on Friday to allow outdoor staff to deal with overhanging tree branches.
During this period signage and diversions will be in place.
