Temporary one-way system to alleviate Twin Towns traffic issue

A temporary one-way system will be in operation in the Twin Towns of Ballybofey and Stranorlar over the next couple of weeks.

The move is in order to facilitate the ongoing repair of the bridge between the towns.

Following lengthy tailbacks and bottleneck traffic as a result of the stop-go system which was previously in place, engineers have decided to operate a one-way system.

The new measures will come into place on Tuesday, April 12.

Traffic travelling north, coming from Ballybofey travelling towards Stranorlar, will flow as normal with no change. The bridge will have one lane open to this traffic.
