An deireadh seachtaine seo beidh Paráid Fhéile Bród an Longfoirt ar siúl i mBaile an Longfoirt Dé Sathairn, an 8 Lúnasa. Beidh dúnadh bóithre i bhfeidhm idir 3.30i.n. agus 5.30i.n.
Beidh roinnt athruithe ar na bealaí seo a leanas le linn na tréimhse seo:
Bealach 816 – Beidh rochtain ar Stáisiún Traenach an Longfoirt mar is gnách, ach NÍ bheidh rochtain ar Shráid Bhaile Uí Mhatháin.
Bealaí 862 & 865 – NÍ bheidh rochtain ar Stáisiún Traenach an Longfoirt. Déanfar paisinéirí a bhailiú agus a fhágáil ag Lidl/Deanscurragh.
Bealach 426 – Ní dhéanfar paisinéirí a bhailiú ná a fhágáil ach ar Aldi, Bhóthar Chill tSáile. NÍ bheidh rochtain ar Shráid Bhaile Uí Mhatháin ná ar Stáisiún Traenach an Longfoirt.
Moltar do phaisinéirí breis ama a cheadú dá dturas, mar d’fhéadfadh moilleanna gearra a bheith ar na seirbhísí.
Le do thoil, tabhair comhartha soiléir don tiománaí trí do lámh a shíneadh amach agus tú ag fanacht ag do stad.
Go raibh maith agaibh as bhur bhfoighne, agus tá súil againn go mbeidh lá den scoth ag gach duine!
