A busy road in Portlaoise town centre is set to close for more than a month.
Harpur's Lane will be completely closed 24 hours a day, from July 22 until August 29, according to Laois County Council.
They say it is for a necessary upgrade of ESB electrical infrastructure.
The closure is from the Mountmellick N80 road, near the train station, up as far as Roselawn housing estate.
A large new residential development and nursing home is being built beside Roselawn.
