Unfortunately there was a woman killed in what appears to be a freak accident. See here ... https://www.rte.ie/news/ulster/2021/0813/1240779-donegal-road-crash/

Really think the Gardai should have a set plan for redirecting traffic if closing the Gap; there should be signage put in place on all roads leading to the Lidl roundabout outside Donegal town telling everyone that the gap is closed, and info as to where the detour is. The tailbacks leading to the roundabout the last day were huge, a bit of signage is all it would take to avoid that.
