N80 Stradbally Road Roadworks update
Laois County Council advises that, on the 15th April, 2021, works will commence on the N80 Ballymacken Road Reconstruction Scheme. The Scheme involves the reconstruction and resurfacing of approximately 4km of the N80 National Secondary Road, from St. Peter & Paul’s Church, Portlaoise Town to the Ballymacken Industrial Estate. The project is funded by Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
Kilsaran Road Surfacing and Contracting are the main contractors and the works will take approximately 15 weeks to complete. The works will be undertaken in phases and carried out between the hours of 7:00am – 7.00pm.
Various temporary traffic management arrangements will be in place for the duration of the works with a particular focus on local, one-way traffic systems. In general outbound vehicular traffic will continue to use the N80 whereas inbound traffic will be diverted via the Portlaoise Southern Circular Road and other suitable routes. As works progress interim traffic management plans will be available on the Laois County Council website. Alternative routes will be fully sign posted.
Local access will be retained but there may be interim interruptions.
Pedestrians will not be subject to diversions.
