Busy Laois road near train station and schools to see six months of road works


Portarlington's Station road to see a one-way system until June
Laois County Council have announced six months of works on Portarlington's Station road, beginning on Monday January 5.
The Council have shared plans of temporary traffic management arrangements, to allow for footpath and cycle lane improvement works.
These arrangements will be in place from 8am to 6pm, on and between Monday January 5, to Friday, June 26.
From the Bracklone street roundabout to the canal road roundabout, a one-way shuttle system will be in place.
Inbound traffic flow towards Portarlington town centre from the Canal road direction shall be maintained.


These plans disrupt traffic on a particularly busy road in Portarlington, with the Presentation Primary School on Station Rd.
Scoil Phadraig BNS is located on Canal road, which is accessed via Station road.
McCann Park, Portarlington GAA club grounds, is also on Canal road, which is accessed from Station Road.
