AA urges motorists to drive with caution on 30km stretch of Kilkenny motorway following snowfall

Motorists are being asked to drive with extra care in county Kilkenny this morning and emergency services deal with heavy snowfalls.

AA Roadwatch has issued a warning for a 30km stretch of the M9 motorway where snowfall has made driving conditions hazardous.

The warning is in place between Junction 10, Knocktopher and Junction 12, Grannagh where they ask motorist to “take particular care… following snowfall.”

The warning goes on to say: “Snowy conditions are causing slippery roads in south Kilkenny and around Waterford City at the moment. Roads remain icy in a number of areas,” it concludes.

While Transport for Ireland, who are trusted with managing the motorway system, have also issued a warning on the same stretch of road where they are dealing with snow and freezing temperatures.
