Carlow County Council has announced its decision to temporarily close roads and pedestrian crossings at Shamrock Square, Carlow Town.
Following the issuance of a Dangerous Structure Notice on a building located at Shamrock Square, and in the interest of public safety, a number of temporary traffic restrictions have been implemented.
This is a precautionary measure being taken while emergency works are being carried out.
Right turn lanes have been closed at Shamrock Square meaning there is no access to Upper Tullow Street at this junction when travelling from either Green lane or Staplestown Road and no access to Staplestown Road when travelling from Barrack Street.

Diversions for all closures are in place.
The Traffic lights are working but the pedestrian crossings on Staplestown Road and Green lane are closed.
Pedestrian movement is only available via the pedestrian crossing on Barrack Street and Upper Tullow Street.
No pedestrians are permitted to access the fenced off area or enter the road carriage way and people are advised to follow all on-site signage and obey the traffic light signals.
