A temporary road closure lasting a total of 50 days has been announced for a road located near the Kildare-Wicklow border.
Kildare County Council (KCC), on behalf of Uisce Éireann, gives notice in accordance with Section 75 of the Roads Act, 1993 and the Roads Regulations, 1994 that it intends to close the R412 road from the R413 at Brannockstown to the R756 at Dunlavin.
This road closure will take place from Monday, March 4 to Friday, July 12, in order to facilitate the installation of new watermain pipework.
KCC added that the road closure period will be for a maximum duration of 10 weeks (50 days) within the road closure window period.
ALTERNATIVE ROUTES
Southbound vehicles travelling on the R412 (Brannockstown to Dunlavin Road) must turn left onto the R413 at Brannockstown and continue along the R413 (circa 5.5 kilometres) and then divert right onto the R411 at Ballymore Eustace and continue along the R411 (circa 3km).
Then divert right onto the N81 and continue along the N81 (circa 1.4km) and divert right onto the R756 at Hollywood Cross and continue along the R756 (circa 7.3km) as far as its junction with the R412 in Dunlavin Village.

Commenting further on the notice, KCC said: "Diversionary routes will be clearly signposted, as agreed with the Council and An Garda Síochána.
"Emergency access and restricted local access will be maintained."
KCC also said: "Any objections/observations should be lodged in writing to the A/Senior Executive Officer, Transport, Mobility and Open Spaces, Kildare County Council, Áras Chill Dara, Devoy Park, Naas, Co.
