Motorists traveling on the N24 near Clonmel are being advised to expect delays after a vehicle overturned on the roadway, prompting the closure of a section of the route. The affected stretch of the N24 remains closed between Sir Thomas’ Bridge and the Kilheffernan Roundabout while emergency services and recovery crews manage the incident and work to restore normal traffic flow.
According to initial reports, the vehicle overturned on the busy route, leading authorities to implement traffic restrictions as a precaution. Emergency responders were quickly dispatched to the scene to assess the situation, secure the area, and assist with recovery efforts. At this time, there have been no reports of serious injuries associated with the incident, providing some reassurance to concerned motorists and local residents.
Traffic management measures have been put in place, with diversions directing vehicles away from the affected section of the N24. Drivers are encouraged to follow all posted diversion signs and instructions from traffic personnel. Authorities are also advising road users to allow extra travel time and consider alternative routes where possible until the roadway can be safely reopened.
The closure has caused some disruption for commuters, commercial drivers, and residents who rely on the N24 as a key transport corridor through the region. Congestion has been reported on surrounding roads as traffic is redirected, particularly during peak travel periods.
Recovery crews are expected to remain at the scene until the overturned vehicle is removed and any necessary inspections or cleanup operations are completed. Officials will then assess road conditions before determining when it is safe to reopen the route to traffic.
Motorists are urged to remain patient, exercise caution when approaching diversion routes, and stay updated through local traffic reports. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and will provide further updates as recovery efforts progress and normal traffic conditions are restored.
