The same section was also closed last year.
A lengthy road closure in Offaly is being described as a "mess."
The R400 between Rhode and Rochfortbridge is set to remain closed until the middle of December, as the Council attempts to maintain the condition of the road.
The same stretch was closed last year after the bridge collapsed.
Local residents are raising concerns with the latest closure, and Ross McGann, of the North Offaly Roads Campaign, says it's causing real safety concerns:
