Duleek to Navan water main project progresses with upcoming road closure for reinstatement works. As part of the next phase of the project, permanent road reinstatement works are scheduled to take place along the R153. To facilitate works a 24-hour temporary road closure will be in place on the R153 from the R153/R150 Junction in Kentstown to the R153/N2 Balrath Cross Junction, from 7am on Monday, 14 July to 7pm on Friday, 25 July. Diversion routes will be clearly signposted, with local and emergency access maintained at all times.
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.
Uisce Éireann has announced significant progress on the Duleek to Navan Trunk Water Main Project, which will play a critical role in securing a reliable water supply for homes and businesses across Navan, while supporting long-term social and economic growth in the area.
The new 16km regional trunk water main and pumping station will create a strategic link between the Staleen Water Treatment Plant Network, at a point just south of Duleek, and the Proudstown and Carn Hill reservoirs which provide treated water storage for 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.”
William continued “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.”
A dedicated Community Liaison Officer (CLO) remains on the ground, actively engaging with residents and stakeholders to provide updates on traffic management and project progress.
