A popular motorsport event will see the closure of a number of Tipperary roads later this month.

The Carrick-on-Suir Rally Sprint will return to the roads around Carrick-on-Suir on July 19, forcing roads that are part of the rally stages to temporarily close.

Tipperary County Council have signaled their intention to close a number of roads to facilitate the motorsport event later this month.

The roads that will be closed are the L-2601 at Faugheen from the Junction of L-26014 at Newtown Lower to the Junction at L-6601, the L-6601 at Ballinurra from the junction of L-2601 at Faugheen to the L-2605 at Cregg and the L-2605 at Cregg from the junction of L-6601 at Ballinurra to the junction L-2601 at Faugheen.

The roads will be closed from 8.30am on July 19, and will reopen again at 6.30pm the same evening.

For anyone travelling that way on July 19, Tipperary County Council have said that alternative routes will be marshalled and signposted on the day of the event.
