Limerick school year – Limerick City and County Council has highlighted some key traffic routes where delays may take place next week.

Plan ahead due to roadworks and school re-openings around Limerick 

Revitalisation works on O’Connell Street are ongoing.

Ahead of next week’s return to schools and colleges for thousands of students, Limerick City and County Council is advising people to leave extra time for their journeys, ahead of what is traditionally a busy period on our roads due to the new Limerick school year.

Planning travel routes in advance can save time for all road users during peak times. Below Limerick City and County Council has highlighted some key routes where delays may take place next week, as well as providing some updates on the roads which have been closed during the summer.
