Speed Limit Change: R173, Omeath

Louth County Council is introducing a temporary speed limit on a section of the R173 in Cornamucklagh, Omeath, to support the construction of the Narrow Water Bridge.

From Monday, 26th May 2025, a reduced speed limit of 50km/h will be in place along a stretch of the R173.

This lower speed limit is being put in place for safety reasons while work on the bridge is ongoing.

The reduced speed zone will run from:

  • Start point: Easting 711905 / Northing 819265
  • End point: Easting 712581 / Northing 818498

This temporary speed limit will stay in effect until 25th May 2026.

Please drive safely and follow the posted limits during this important infrastructure project.
