Motorists in Leitrim are being advised of a road closure in North Leitrim lasting over two months to facilitate improvements to the water supply.
Leitrim County Council has announced a temporary road closure in Newtownmanor, effective from next month.
Water mains replacement works will take place in the area as part of the Newtownmanor Extension Scheme, resulting in the closure.
