The long awaited works on the Slievenamon road in Thurles have gotten underway today.

It comes just as the Suir Bridge project in the town is completed – however, motorists and business owners are now facing further disruption due to the new works.

The project, which is due to take 7 weeks, is starting at Dunnes roundabout and stretching out as far as Rosemount – with a stop go system in place.

Thurles Councillor David Doran says while the works are necessary – the disruption highlights another issue.
