Monaghan residents will need to plan alternative routes this weekend as the council will close LS5515 Lower Mill Street between North Road and Church Square. The temporary closure will take effect from 6 pm on Saturday 5 September 2026 and will remain in place until midnight on Sunday 6 September 2026. The decision, announced on the Monaghan County Council Road and Transport page, follows the Roads Act 1993 (Section 75) requirements for temporary road closures.

Drivers heading from North Road (N54) or Upper Mill Street (LS5515) who wish to reach Church Square will be directed to use North Road (N54), Plantation Road (LP1413) and Glaslough Street (N54) as alternative routes. Local and emergency services will retain full access to the closed section at all times.

The notice was posted on the Monaghan County Council website under the Municipal District of Monaghan in County Monaghan.
