Galway Bay fm newsroom – Galway County Council has published its notice for the closure of the R339 Monivea Road at Caherateemore.
The controversial closure resulted in more than 470 submissions from locals who feel there was a lack of consultation about the planned closure.
Affected residents recently protested outside a site owned by SISK, the contractor who is responsible for carrying out the proposed works along the Monivea Road.
The works are necessary as part of a tie-in with the Gort to Tuam motorway project.
The order will close the section of the R339 at Caherateemore South from its junction with the Castlelambert road to its junction with the R347, Athenry-Tuam Road at Coosaun Cross.
The closure will begin at 8a.m on Monday March 21st and will end at 6p.m on Monday April 11th.
Diversions will be put in place for the 3 week period.
