Barrow Way Closed at Graiguenamanagh for Flood Relief Works

Waterways Ireland advises users of the Barrow Navigation that the trackway section of the Barrow Way from Graiguenamanagh Bridge to 100m south of Upper Tinnahinch Lock is closed until Friday 7 April.

This is to accommodate Carlow County Council’s undertaking of site investigation works for Graiguenamanagh/Tinnahinch Flood Relief Scheme.

The trackway was closed on Tuesday 28 March and there will be no public access daily from 8am to 7pm, with restricted public access at all other times. Local property access will be accommodated, the cross-border body for Ireland’s inland waterways adds.
