Ease your way into the new school year

Planning travel routes in advance can save time for all road users during peak times. Below Limerick City and County Council has highlighted some key routes where delays may take place next week, as well as providing some updates on the roads which have been closed during the summer.

Brian Kennedy, Director for Transportation and Mobility with Limerick City and County Council is calling on road users to make themselves aware of the potential delays on their normal routes to school and college. “This time of year is always a busy time on our roads as our schools and colleges return to normal routine. As with any large city, there are going to be road works under way all year round, but we are calling on all road users to read the information below and plan the best route for them and their families.”
