The next stage of works on the progressing Duleek to Navan Trunk Water Main Project is set to commence, Uisce Éireann has announced.

Permanent road reinstatement works will now begin for the new trunk main which will safeguard water supply to homes and businesses in Navan.

Uisce Éireann's Programme Manager, William McKnight, explained: "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.

"This new water main will maintain a water supply to Navan if there is any planned or unplanned disruption at Navan's Liscarton Water Treatment Plant and importantly support social and economic growth in an area that has seen unprecedented growth in recent years."

To facilitate these works a temporary road closure will be in place on the L1610 between Bolies Little & N2 at Balrath from 7am on Monday, June 23 until 7pm on Friday, July 11.

A dedicated Community Liaison Officer (CLO) is working on the ground and will continue to engage with the local community to keep locals up to date on traffic management systems.
