Uisce Eireann is set to begin repair works to water mains serving O'Brien's Bridge this week. The repairs involve the replacement of over one kilometre of aged water mains, which the water authority says will provide a more secure and reliable water supply less prone to leakage. To facilitate the works the L70361 will be closed in stretches with a traffic management system in place until the works completion in early November. Programme Manager with Uisce Éireann, Jack Cronin, says the works will significanly lower instances of bursts on the mains.
