Cork motorists set to face significant diversion during 24-hour road closure

Drivers approaching Cork city centre from Waterford, Youghal, Midleton and Cobh will experience a major diversion tomorrow

A section of N25/N8 on the westbound approach to the Dunkettle roundabout will close from 7.30pm on Friday to around 9pm on Saturday

Tens of thousands of motorists travelling from Midleton to Cork city will face a significant diversion during a major 24-hour road closure this weekend linked to the nearby Dunkettle interchange project.

A section of N25/N8 on the westbound approach to the Dunkettle roundabout will close from 7.30pm on Friday to around 9pm on Saturday to facilitate the renewal of the bridge deck waterproofing on two new structures built in recent months as part of the interchange upgrade — the Dunkettle River bridge and the overbridge crossing the Cork to Cobh/Midleton railway line.
