Traffic management in place for replacement of water mains in Ardara

Traffic management will be operational during the replacement of water mains in Ardara. 

The project, which will begin in the coming days, aims to replace 175 metres of ageing water mains in Ard Chonaill. The project will be carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Farrans Construction and is expected to be completed in early summer.

Uisce Éireann have advised that the traffic will be managed to ensure safety, while local and emergency access will be maintained at all times. Some short‑term water outages may be required during the works, 

“Uisce Éireann is committed to investing in local water infrastructure to support communities and safeguard supplies for the future,” Programme Manager Patricia Lowry said. 

“These works in Ard Chonaill will build a more resilient network. Our crews will work diligently to complete the project as quickly as possible, and we thank the community for their patience and cooperation as these essential works progress.”
