TWO significant road closures have been announced that will affect motorists this week.
Uisce Éireann works, which the semi-State body described as “key water network upgrades to unlock housing in Letterkenny”, are to get underway at “Leck Road and Woodlands to boost capacity and support growth”.
The works began last Wednesday and are expected to be completed by “late autumn 2026”.
It involves the installation of more than 800 metres of new water mains on Leck Road, along the L1114 between the N13 Ballybofey Road and the L1094 Cullion Road.
To safely facilitate the works on Leck Road, a traffic management plan will be in place, including road closures from Monday to Friday, between 10am and 7pm.
Elsewhere, the R245 Carraig Airt Road near Creeslough (An Craoslach) will be blocked for road resurfacing this week.
The road will be blocked to traffic on Wednesday and Thursday between 8am and 5pm each day, revealed Donegal County Council.
The works are a continuation of the 2025 works and will take place in the townland of Coill Loch Corráin (Killoughcarron).
The diversion route will be via the N56 to Cill Mhic Réanáin (Kilmacrennan), the R246 to Baile na nGallóglach (Milford) and the R245 to Carraig Airt and vice versa.
A council spokesperson said it apologises for any inconvenience caused.
