THERE will be disruption to traffic flows around Ennis this month with the closure of one of the main ap- proach roads to the town.
A section of the Tulla Road (R352) at Corrovorrin Bridge will be closed for a period of eight days from Au- gust 20 to 27 to facilitate the renewal of major foul sewer infrastructure. Pedestrian and cycle access will be maintained at all times during the closure.
Upgrade work at the site has been delayed since April when the road was originally scheduled to close.
There have been long running prob- lems at the sewage station near the bridge that have caused difficulties to homes in the area.
