Temporary road closure scheduled for Cavan local route
Cavan County Council has confirmed an upcoming four-hour closure of the L7041 to accommodate a local community gathering. Commuters should expect disruption between midday and late afternoon on the eighth of October as through-traffic is strictly prohibited.
Cavan County Council has officially announced that the L7041 will be closed to all public traffic for a duration of four hours on Thursday, 8th October 2026. The restriction is scheduled to be in place from 12pm until 4pm to facilitate the safe hosting of a community event in the area.
While organisers and local authorities will endeavour to accommodate residents requiring local access where possible, there will be no through route available for motorists during this timeframe. Drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance and seek alternative routes to avoid potential delays while the event is underway.
For further information regarding the closure or to clarify access arrangements, members of the public may contact the office of Paddy Connaughton, Director of Services at Cavan County Council, located at the Courthouse in Cavan. The council appreciates the patience of the community as they work to ensure the success of this local initiative.
