Laois Road closure to cause disruption to bus services
Laois Offaly Local Link says train station access will be impacted
A busy road used by commuters in Laois is due to close for works next week.
Laois County Council has announced revised plans to close Station Road in Portlaoise on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 2 and 3 between 9.30am and 5.30pm.
The closure takes place from Portlaoise Train Station to the Junction with the N80.
Transport for Ireland Local Link Laois Offaly said the closure will cause disruption to its services.
“Due to a road closure on Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd April our 858 Thurles to Portlaoise and 834 Portlaoise to Roscrea services will not be able to pick up or drop off at the train station between 8am and 6pm on both days. Please make your way to the stop at JFL Avenue for both days where departure time will be same as train station departure time.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused due to this unavoidable disruption,” TFI Local Link stated.
The council said the closure is needed in order to facilitate drainage works. They issued a map with diversions outlined.
