Flood relief work alert

RESIDENTS and businesspeople in Clonmel are facing traffic disruption in the coming weeks with work set to be carried out on five bridges in the town.

Access to the Old Bridge area of Clonmel will be restricted as work on the flood relief scheme reaches the flood-prone district.

Preparatory work on the bridges, all in a flood-prone area, is taking place this month but the main job will start at the end of the year or early in 2011 and will involve traffic disruption.
