    Just to make people aware of these...(full details on galwaycity.ie)
    Road Closures – Available Diversions, Sunday 4th September:

    From Conamara, Ros an Mhíl, An Spidéal, Na Forbacha or Bearna to Galway City, County East and Vice Versa.
    7:00am to 10:00am During these hours the only diversion available will be through Maam Cross, An Fhairche(Clonbur), Cong, Headford & Cluain Bú (Cloonboo) Via the R336, R345, R483, R346, R334 & N84.

    We Strongly advise planning journeys in advance so as not to require use of this diversion, due to the extra mileage involved.

    10:00am to 2.00pm At this time the Galway – Bearna Road will have been fully reopened. Anyone wishing to travel towards Galway City Centre, Galway City East or Galway County East must use the Quincentenary Bridge as it will be the only bridge available .

    From Galway City West to City Centre, City East or County East and vice-versa.
    7:00am to 2:00pm The Quincentenary Bridge will be the only bridge available during this period.

    2:00pm to 5:00pm The Quincentenary, Salmon Weir & O’Brien’s Bridges will be available.

    From Nuns Island, The Claddagh or Small Crane to any location and vice-versa.
    7:00am to 2:00pm The only route out of this area will be Via O’Briens Bridge (as Newcastle, St. Mary’s & Lower Salthill Roads and Wolfe Tone Bridge will be closed).

    The only route into this area will be Via the Salmon Weir or O’Brien’s Bridge and Gaol Road (as Newcastle, St. Mary’s & Lower Salthill Roads and Wolfe Tone Bridge will be closed).

    2:00pm to 5:00pm The Wolfe Tone Bridge will be closed during this time, but all other routes will be available.

    If you live west of Barna, it seems that your only chance of going into Galway between 7 and 10 am is via Maam Cross and Cong - a 2.5 hour detour. Better plan ahead (and not go into early labour, either...:eek:)

    Apart from that - good luck to all the athletes, sounds like a blast! :)
