Traffic delays are expected for a week in mid-February as Irish Water carries out works on the Convent Road in Letterkenny.
The busy route at the bottom of the town will see temporary traffic lights put in place from Monday 17th February. The works are expected to last until Sunday 23rd February.
Three-way traffic lights will be in operation on a 24/7 basis and will be manually controlled during site working and peak hours from Monday to Sunday.
The work will begin at the on the R250/ Convent Road junction (at Tin Tai) after morning peak hour traffic on Monday. Normal working hours from 07.30 to 18.30 will be observed.
The works are being carried out by Cleantech Group on behalf of Irish Water as part of the €5.6million Letterkenny Sewerage Scheme. This phase involves the construction of new foul/combined sewer pipelines and the rehabilitation of existing foul/combined sewer pipelines.
Irish Water confirmed that residents and businesses in the affected areas continue to be notified ahead of the work commencing and are provided with contact details should they have any questions.
The water authority also said that roads will be reinstated and opened to normal traffic flow upon completion of the works.
A statement said: “The Project Team continues to work closely with residents and businesses to minimise any potential disruption and with An Garda Síochána and the Roads Authority to manage traffic while the works are underway.
“Irish Water and Donegal County Council apologise for any inconvenience caused by this essential work and thank you for your continued co-operation.”
