The work is part of the upgrade of the sewerage network in the town
Buncrana’s Cockhill Road is to be closed this weekend due to work as part of the Buncrana sewerage scheme network project.
The R238 between Buncrana and Cockhill will be closed on Saturday and Sunday with diversions in place.
Uisce Éireann said local and emergency access will be maintained at all times. Uisce Éireann’s Programme Manager Colm Claffey thanked the community for their patience and cooperation in advance of the works.
Diversions will be in place and Uisce Éireann says local and emergency access will be maintained at all times
“Uisce Éireann acknowledges that diversions can be inconvenient for the local community and our crews will make every effort to minimise disruption to the local people. We are confident that the short-term inconvenience will be outweighed by the long-term benefits upon completion of this sewerage scheme.
“It will not only reduce the risk of sewer flooding and address non-compliant sewer overflows into Lough Swilly and the River Finn, but it will support future social and economic growth in the area.”
