Telfords store alerts shoppers to Laois County Council works
Laois shoppers and drivers are being alerted to traffic delays ahead of two weeks of roadworks in Portlaoise.
The Telfords hardware and electrical store in Portlaoise is reassuring its customers that they will open as normal, during a fortnight of a one-way system on Fr Browne Avenue.
The local retail business says that the roadworks will start on Monday, January 26 and last until Friday, February 6.
"What this means for customers: A temporary one-way system will be in operation. Diversion routes will be clearly signposted. Access to Telfords will remain available throughout the works. Some delays may occur during working hours.
"Please note that parking may be restricted in the immediate works area during working hours, as vehicles obstructing the works may be removed," say Telfords.
