Two week closure of Leitrim road confirmed to fell 'dangerous trees'

A temporary road closure will affect the L‑73141‑0 in Gortnawaun, Drumshanbo, from 11 May for an unspecified period next month. Leitrim County Council has announced the shutdown to allow crews to fell trees that have been identified as dangerous. The work is part of the council’s ongoing efforts to improve safety on local roads. Drivers and residents in the Drumshanbo area should plan alternative routes during the closure. The council has not yet confirmed the exact end date of the works, but the closure is expected to last for two weeks. The L‑73141‑0 is a key route for local traffic, and the council has urged motorists to exercise caution and follow any detour signage that will be posted. The tree felling operation is a routine part of the council’s maintenance programme, aimed at reducing the risk of falling limbs and ensuring the road remains safe for all users. The closure will be monitored closely, and any changes to the schedule will be communicated through local channels. For more details, see the Leitrim Observer.
