Meath County Council has made an order to close the M1, from Junction 8 to Junction 7 (Southbound), at night time for a period of one week within the range of dates referred to below to facilitate CRG (Dundalk) to carry out road re-surfacing works.

The total duration of the roadworks is expected to be one week, during which time, the motorway mainline, interchange slip roads, roundabouts and side roads will be closed.  It is the intention of CRG (Dundalk) to minimise the number of, and duration of, road closures within the one week period.
