Bohernabreena road closure

    On the way up Bohernabreena, there were loads of big signs saying the road was closed (till end Aug) which I ignored, thinking I'd be ok getting through.

    Turns out the road was indeed closed (just after the quarry as far as the T junction - I went left to butter mountain) with boulders and concrete barriers and the like, but you can get through on foot. They appear to be laying cables/pipes of some sort and I can see how cars would have issues, but I was able to get through fine.

    I was able to cycle through the whole section, but I imagine there may be a case for getting off and hurdling large holes in the coming weeks, or being turned away if there were workers present.

    So, should be passable with care if there's no workers there, otherwise I suspect they may turn you back.

    Closed section

    I think it's drainage work. Always seems to be a lot of surface water on that section.

    On a related point, nice to see that Blessington village is being resurfaced. Road surface was appalling there for years.

    I cycled through it on Thursday. It's easily passable on foot or bike. The lack of traffic due to the road closure has made it an even more enjoyable road to ride on ;)

    Agreed, had to be the worst surfaced village in Ireland which always surprised me as it gets quite alot of traffic being on the main N81 also. Probably another few weeks before it's finished but a drastic improvement

    I was over that way today. Road is open again. Lovely new tarmac surface and no flowing water. Just be careful to keep out a metre or so, as the new gully gratings are sunk approx. 100mm below the road surface. They have been marked with yellow paint, so maybe they are going to be raised up flush with the road.
