M6 Eastbound closed today for essential repairs

Galway Bay fm newsroom - The M6 Eastbound is closed this morning so essential repairs can be carried out.

The repairs between Junction 14 Ballinasloe and Junction 13 Athlone West were required so that a section of pavement before lane 1 can be reopened to live traffic.

This is due to a recent Road Traffic Collision in the area.

The closure will continue until 9pm this evening with all traffic travelling east diverted.
