Busy East Cork road closed for two weeks but 'no sign of works'

Irish Water urged to take action as closure for laying of pipe for waste-water treatment plant causes traffic chaos and diversions

Irish Water said construction works are continuing on the wastewater network project that involves two new wastewater pumping stations in the Water-rock area.

Irish Water has been urged to take action as a busy road in East Cork has remained closed for two weeks despite locals saying no obvious works are being carried out.

The construction, which involves the laying of a pipe for a waste-water treatment plant, is causing traffic chaos and diversions for people living along the Carrigane-Ballyrichard road.
