Works are getting underway at the city's Presentation Road this week to improve the area's water supply
Traffic management will be in place for the next seven weeks until Friday August 21st, with road closures
The works are being carried out under Uisce Éireann’s National Leakage Reduction Programme.
They will see 510 metres of aging water mains at Presentation Road replaced with new, modern pipes.
These new mains will improve the quality of treated water being delivered into homes and businesses while also strengthening and safeguarding the network against bursts and other operational issues.
The road closure will take effect along Presentation Road and Mill Street, from the junction of Presentation Road and Newcastle Road to the junction of Mill Street and Dominick Street Lower. Diversions will be in place.
Presentation Road and Mill Street will be re-opened for the week of the Galway Races from Monday, 27 July to facilitate increased traffic flows.
Farrans Construction expects the works to be completed by late-August.
