Portarlington Main Street closure this Sunday

Portarlington’s Main Street will close for works this Sunday, November 27.

Cllr Aidan Mullins said: “I've been informed by the ESB that they will be closing off Main Street in Portarlington to traffic from the Bank of Ireland to the Market Square and also Foxcroft Street  next Sunday from 8 am to 4pm.” 

This is to allow for the removal of the overhead cables and electricity poles as part of the street upgrade works, he explained. 

Cllr Mullins said: “Businesses and residents should note that there will be NO power outages during the day but the ESB are requesting that all vehicles are removed from the street and no parking is permitted in the interest of safety.” 

“This should be the last of the major disruptions for these works which leaves the installation of the new lamp standards remaining to be done,” Cllr Mullins stated. 

There will be no further interruptions during the Christmas shopping period, he added.
