Roadworks on R284 to prevent flooding starting Tuesday 1st of November

Some Minor works to prevent flooding in the Ballygawley area in Sligo will take place from tomorrow.

The R284 Ballygawley to Carraroe road will be closed from tomorrow until Thursday of next week.

The Council is working to raise the road near the lake outside Ballygawley at the junction with Union Wood.

Last November this road along with a number of others was badly flooded making the road impassable.

Sinn Fein Councillor Thomas Healy outlines what's planned:
