Longford County Council warn of road blockages

Longford County Council say that due to the early morning snow, there are a number of roads partially blocked in County Longford.

Snow ploughs are being deployed to these locations on a priority basis, with national and regional routes being addressed first.

Please be aware: The N55 and the R194 appear to be the worst impacted by the snow. Currently, the N4 appears to be passable with care. Longford County Council salting trucks were out last night and again early this morning. Reports have also been received of debris from trees on some roads, which may impact on nearby powerlines. Crews are responding so please proceed with caution, and do not attempt to touch any fallen wires.

Longford County Council is urging people not to make any unnecessary journeys today, until road conditions have improved and for those who must travel, please proceed with caution and allow extra time for your journey.
