Public representatives to meet with the council tomorrow morning to find a solution.
A road closure in the midlands is being described as a case study of exactly what not to do.
The Carriockobrien road is due to receive flood defence works, with the road needing to be closed from next week and again during the summer.
Fianna Fail councillor Aengus O' Rourke says there was very limited information made available to the public and no consultations.
The aim is for public representatives to meet with the council and the OPW tomorrow morning to find a resolution.
Councillor O' Rourke says if no alternatives are found, the only other option is a 16 mile round trip:
