Roadworks in the Ballybane area will disrupt traffic for the next six weeks, with rolling road closures in place.
Galway City Council has been carrying out roadworks on Castlepark Road and Ballybane Road for the new active travel scheme in the area.
The final phase of these works will involve the full resurfacing of the carriageways on both roads. Work began on Castlepark road this week.
To ensure the safety of the public and workers during these works, temporary road closures are planned during this time.
Road Closures will be in place from 9:30am – 4:00pm, Monday to Friday, on the following dates:
- From Tuesday, April 7, for approximately three weeks on Castlepark Road.
- From approximately Monday, April 27, for approximately three weeks on the Ballybane Road.
Works on Ballybane Road will not begin until the resurfacing of Castlepark Road is complete.
Local vehicle access will be maintained on both roads, with signage and marshals in place to inform locals of the diversion routes to reach their properties. Pedestrian and wheeler access will be maintained at all times.
Between the hours of 9.30am – 4.00pm, Monday to Friday, bus services will be diverted away from Castlepark Road and will follow diversions. Buses will run as normal at all other times.
Signage will also be erected at each bus stop to alert passengers to the alternative bus stop, which will be either on the Ballybane Road or the Monivea Road.
