Road closure in Meath to facilitate major water project between Duleek and Navan
Diversion routes will be clearly signposted, with local and emergency access maintained at all times.
According to Uisce Éireann, this closure will not come into effect until the L1610 Duleek to Balrath Crossroads route has been reopened, ensuring ongoing route availability for local traffic.
The works form part of a major infrastructure project aimed at securing a more reliable water supply for Navan. The project includes the construction of a 16km regional trunk water main and a pumping station, creating a strategic link between the Staleen Water Treatment Plant and the Proudstown and Carn Hill reservoirs that serve Navan.
Uisce Éireann's William McKnight said: 'This infrastructure will maintain supply in the event of planned or unplanned disruptions at the Liscarton Water Treatment Plant and will support development in an area that has seen unprecedented growth in recent years.'
The project is expected to support both residential and economic growth while safeguarding against future service interruptions.
A dedicated Community Liaison Officer remains active in the area to keep residents informed about traffic management and construction updates.
'We would like to thank the community for their continued patience and cooperation as we deliver this essential infrastructure for Navan and apologise for any inconvenience these necessary works may cause,' Mr McKnight added.

Taoiseach hopes EU-US framework trade agreement 'signed off before the weekend is over'
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said he hopes a framework trade agreement between the European Union and the United States can be "signed off before the weekend is over". Speaking in Luxembourg, Mr Martin said he would "welcome an end to the uncertainty" around the trade dispute between the bloc and the US. "The agreement will be a headline framework agreement," he said, adding that there will be detailed discussions afterwards in respect of many products. "I know there are intensive discussions ongoing and the reason for the intensity of those negotiations is to try to tie up as much as we can, and get certainty around the sectoral tariffs," said Mr Martin. "The European Union is not anxious for a retaliatory scenario, is not anxious to engage in a trade conflict with the United States." Meanwhile, the European Investment Bank is to provide a new €300m loan for water infrastructure projects in Ireland. The announcement was made this morning after a meeting between the Taoiseach and President of the EIB Nadia Calviño in Luxembourg. Mr Martin, attending a signing ceremony for the new loan at the EIB, said the bank was a "key partner for transformational investment across Ireland". He said the new investment will help Uisce Éireann to upgrade vital water infrastructure and that the loan aligned with the Government's new National Development Plan, announced earlier this week. The loan, signed in cooperation with the National Treasury Management Agency, is designed to enhance water security by extending water supply infrastructure and upgrading wastewater treatment plants. It also includes investments in stormwater drainage facilities to future-proof against more extreme periods of rainfall. Chris McCarthy, the chief financial officer of Uisce Éireann, said the investment will accelerate the development of Ireland's critical water services infrastructure. In recent years, the EIB has provided approximately €1 billion annually for public and private investment in water, housing and energy projects in Ireland.

Uisce Éireann begins major wastewater infrastructure project in Meath
Today at 07:45 Construction of a new wastewater infrastructure project in Clonmagadden, Meath is set to begin next week, as Uisce Éireann moves forward with essential upgrades to support housing and economic growth in the Navan area. The project involves the installation of 300 metres of gravity sewer mains, a key element of Uisce Éireann's national Growth and Development Programme. The new wastewater infrastructure will significantly enhance the capacity and reliability of the existing sewer network, paving the way for future residential development and improved environmental protection. Works will be carried out at Clonmagadden Park and along Clonmagadden Road, stretching from Clonmagadden Park to Nangle Court. To safely facilitate construction, traffic management measures will be in place, including temporary traffic lights and traffic marshals. Padraic Fitzgerald of Uisce Éireann said: 'This project will facilitate social and economic growth, including planned residential development. It will increase the capacity of the existing wastewater network to deliver reliable, sustainable, high-quality wastewater services for the community.' The works are scheduled for completion in Autumn 2025.
