Motorists travelling around Letterkenny this Friday afternoon are advised to leave a lot of extra time for their journeys as roadworks create major delays in the town.
Traffic is backed up on many of the main routes around the town due to roadworks on the N14 Four Lane and Pearse Road.
Very heavy traffic is reported on Main Street Letterkenny, the N14 from the Dry Arch to Polestar Roundabout and on the Ramelton Road.
A minor accident has also taken place on the Leck Road. This is expected to clear soon.
There are also delays at works on the N56 at Illistrin, between Letterkenny and Kilmacrennan.
It was a similar situation on Thursday evening last, as many motorists were left frustrated with long delays.
Letterkenny is in its second week of major sewerage works on the Pearse Road, which has led to one-lane traffic on the route turning left off Paddy Harte Road. As a result, cars must travel down the already congested Lower Main Street to reach Oldtown.
The Pearse Road project is expected to last for 10 more weeks, after which works will move to Oldtown Road in front of the Old Dunnes.
