Works are set to begin on a new mini roundabout in Clare's capital town. Approximately eight weeks of road works will take place in Ennis, between the Claureen Roundabout and the Shanaway Road Junction. Starting Monday, November 2, the works will also involve the installation of two controlled and raised pedestrian crossings. The majority of works will be carried out as night works with the remaining works using a temporary traffic management stop/go system.
