Emergency repair works planned for Oldmill Bridge route
Kildare County Council will implement a temporary road closure near the county boundary for essential bridge repairs. Motorists should anticipate minor traffic disruptions across neighbouring areas during the twelve-day operational period.
Kildare County Council is preparing to carry out urgent repair works at Oldmill Bridge, situated along the L2019 route on the boundary between Oldmilltown in County Kildare and Farmersvale in County Dublin. These essential interventions are required to address structural issues and ensure the safety of the crossing for all road users.
To facilitate the necessary construction activities safely, the L2019 will be temporarily closed to through traffic for an estimated duration of 12 days. Local authorities have mapped out specific diversion routes to guide motorists around the closure zone while the engineering teams complete the remedial measures.
While the primary works fall within Kildare, the designated diversion paths are expected to generate a minor impact on local roads managed by South Dublin County Council. Commuters travelling through the area are advised to allow additional time for their journeys and consult official council notices for further updates.
