An Garda Síochána is seeking the assistance of the public in relation to a Road Traffic Operation being put in place to provide safe passage of the Rás through County Donegal on Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th May.
It starts off in Bundoran at 11am tomorrow morning (Wed) and travels through Ballyshannon, Donegal Town, Ballybofey and on to Letterkenny. The race will turn right onto the dual carriageway and continue on to Buncrana.
From there, it travels through Buncrana town out to Clonmany, up over Mamore Gap and back into Buncrana where they finish on the Main Street from 14.10 onwards.
There will be traffic disruption in and around Buncrana Town from approx 2pm onwards. Some motorists will be inconvenienced as there will be road closures and diversions. When the Rás is coming back into town, there will be a period when there will be little or no movement of traffic.
Buncrana Main Street hosts a stage start on Thursday morning 25th May at 11:00hrs when traffic restrictions will again apply but for a shorter duration.
People wishing to come to Buncrana to support the Rás and see the finish are advised to be in Buncrana in good time to allow for parking.
Motorists are advised to avoid Buncrana from approx 2pm until 3pm at the latest. Motorists wishing to travel to Carndonagh should go via Bridgend and Muff. If an emergency arises please contact Buncrana Garda Station on 074 9320540.
An Garda Síochána would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused as a result of the event. We are working with race organisers to do everything possible to minimise disruption to regular traffic. Current indications are that weather will be favourable.
This is an excellent opportunity for County Donegal to be showcased at a national level. An Garda Síochána welcomes the Rás to County Donegal and we ask that motorists are patient are co-operate with Gardaí and stewards over the coming days.
