Emergency road closure currently in operation in Kilkenny

Kilkenny County Council are advising motorists of an emergency road closure currently in effect in County Kilkenny.

The road closure is being enforced in order to facilitate emergency repairs between the junction of the L1035/L1043 (Bog Road) and junction of the L1035/L5105 (Jamestown Cross) in south Kilkenny.

The closure will be enforced today (Wednesday, November 11) from 9am to 4.30pm.

Road diversions will also be in place and the local authority advise that local access will be facilitated.

Kilkenny County Council have thanked motorists for their cooperation and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Parliament Street

Meanwhile, vehicular and pedestrian access to Parliament Street in Kilkenny City will be stopped at different intervals on Wednesday, November 11 due to filming.

The filming will take place adjacent to Rothe House and traffic will be released and cleared between takes, allowing traffic movement to continue intermittently throughout the filming period.

Traffic management measures will be implemented by a traffic management contractor, with oversight and monitoring by Kilkenny County Council.

Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians are advised to expect temporary traffic restrictions, short delays and slower traffic flow. Road users are requested to follow all signage and instructions from traffic management personnel.

Earlier this month, Rothe House & Garden along with Kilkenny Castle closed for periods of time due to filming on the same project.
