Gardaí have warned motorists to expect delays in Letterkenny this evening as the first day of the Donegal International Rally comes to a close.
Heavy traffic is reported on the Port Road, from the Polestar roundabout approaching Letterkenny, near the Mount Errigal hotel, the Canal Road (Loop) and Neil T Blaney road.
“Avoid town unless necessary for the next half hour or so to let the rally traffic settle down,” said an update from Gardaí before 8pm.
A heavy Garda presence will be in operation around Main Street Letterkenny tonight. The public order vans will be in operation. “We hope they are not needed and that everyone has a fun night without any trouble!,” said Gardaí.
Out on the roads, Roads Policing Units are carrying out widespread checks and operating a zero-tolerance policy on dangerous driving and drug/drink driving.
