New traffic flows as Tanyard Link Road opens in Tullamore

The new Tanyard Link Road has opened to traffic in Tullamore this afternoon (Friday).

Offaly County Council has said the opening of the link road has resulted in a change to traffic flows in the town centre with no entrance for motorists to O'Connor Square from Bridge Street.

The local authority confirmed that entry to O'Connor Square is now via Tanyard Lane only, with the traffic flow through O'Connor Square being being one way in direction.

"Temporary signage will be in place for the coming weeks alongside permanent signage to assist road users to adjust to the new road layouts," the Offaly County Council social media post stated.
