Dominick Street Upper in Galway City’s westend will be closed until the end of the month while infrastructure works are taking place.
The street will be closed 24/7 between the junctions with William Street West and Fairhill Road Upper until February 27.
The work on replacing water mains is a continuation of replacement works, which have been taking place on William Street for the past four weeks.
This phase will involve the replacement of approximately 100 metres of ageing mains with new, modern pipes.
Diversions will be in place via Fairhill Road Upper, Fr. Griffin Road, Fr. Griffin Avenue, Sea Road & William Street West.
Enda McNamara, Uisce Éireann Programme Manager, has thanked West End residents and businesses for their ongoing support while this significant programme of mains replacement continues.
“We acknowledge the inconvenience caused by road closures, and the disruption that can be created by works such as these in a city centre location,” said Enda.
“We are close to completion on William Street West and we wish to thank the businesses on the street for their patience and understanding while the works were ongoing.
“We will be moving to Dominick Street from next week to continue the next phase of this project, which is providing a more secure and reliable supply of drinking water to homes and businesses in the West End.”
Localised access will be maintained at all times during the month.
