Traffic Management Plan–30” watermain Burst outside Fingal Café, Main Street, Swords

There is a serious burst on the 30” Watermain on Main Street, Swords in the vicinity of Fingal Café, losing a significant amount of water with the potential consequence of either an eruption or subsidence. As a result urgent repairs need to be carried out.

It is intended to commence this work at 7pm approximately on Tuesday 5th November and works will continue until Thursday Evening 7th November. Because of the location of the watermain it will be necessary to close Main Street to vehicular access and parking, from the Junction of Chapel Lane to the Junction of Malahide Road for the duration of the works. Parking restrictions will apply from 3pm on Tuesday.

Alternative routes to access Swords are posted under our Traffic Management Plan.

Water supplies to residents and businesses will be maintained throughout the repair period but some minor reductions in pressure may occur.

We would like to thank all those affected in advance for their patience and understanding while works are ongoing.

That'll do wonders for business on the Main Street.

They'd the Rolestown road closed off most of last week too for something

"Urgent repairs" are needed, yet they are waiting until Tuesday? Makes perfect sense.

At least their giving notice. We had a shop oppisite pennys few years ago, 1 day they closed off the street outside the hardware without any notice to fix a water pipe. They had the road closed off for over week and wouldnt give the shops and businesses any updates or news on what was going on. Nothing fcc do that inconveniences people surprises me
