Traffic will then turn left in Mogeely onto the L3805 Mogeely/Castlemartyr Road and continue to Castlemartyr where they will turn right and rejoin the N.25 Cork/Waterford road.
Gardai remind motorists that delays are expected on this diversion and we are appealing to the public to slow down; exercise extreme caution and to expect oncoming Heavy Goods Vehicles while travelling this route. All other alternative routes are not passable due to the continued severe flooding in the area. Gardai are appealings to motorist to obey the directional signs and where possible to avoid using the N25.
