Capwell Road Weekday Closures Begin Monday as Cork City Roadworks Hit Other Routes

Capwell Road closes between South Douglas Road and High Street on weekdays from 9 November to 4 December, one of several Cork City Council road works notices taking effect from Monday. Overnight and daytime restrictions are also planned for Sunday’s Well Road, Dublin Pike, the N8 Lower Glanmire Road and Evergreen Road.

Capwell Road closes from 09:30 on 9 November until 19:00 on 4 December, reopening each weekend. The confirmed diversion uses South Douglas Road, Evergreen Road, Summerhill South, Langford Row and Southern Road.

Pedestrian access remains, and residents’ access is maintained where possible. School traffic will be managed at peak times.

Nearby, Evergreen Road, South Douglas Road and Curragh Road will also have three-way stop/go controls from 19:30 to 06:00. That notice covers 9 to 13 November.

Works on Sunday’s Well Road run from 22:00 to 06:00 on 9 and 10 November. The notice specifies a hard closure between Shanakiel Road and Convent Avenue, and closure/stop-go arrangements along the corridor towards North Gate Bridge. Drivers should plan an alternative route, as the notice supplies no diversion.

Dublin Pike closes between its White’s Cross and Glenville Street junctions from 09:00 to 16:00 on 9 and 10 November for drainage improvements. Allow for rerouting, as an official diversion is not specified.

On the N8 Lower Glanmire Road, the 9 and 10 November notice specifies stop/go controls and lane restrictions from 21:30 to 06:00. They apply between Supermac’s and the North Ring Road slip road, for resurfacing. Allow extra journey time and follow traffic management.
