Designated diversions for road users will be clearly signposted as agreed with Kildare County Council and gardai.

Local and emergency access will be allowed at all times.

Kildare County Council apologised in advance for any inconvenience caused.

Meanwhile the Council is planning traffic calming measures on Great Connell Road in  Newbridge, Co Kildare and drawings can be viewed at the local authority's offices.
