Irish harbour ambitions to boost network

16 January 2008

As part of Ireland’s 15-year initiative to improve motorway and dual-carriageway networks, a 20km-long new bypass around Waterford city, on the N25 Rosslare Harbour to Cork route, is currently under construction.

The project’s key structure, the River Suir Bridge, is starting to take shape, with Bachy Soletanche undertaking the bored piling for the foundations on the south side of the river, in a contract worth around €1M.

The 475m-long cable stay suspension bridge is designed for a four-lane traffic crossing, which will ease the traffic which currently passes through Waterford. Ged Neary, general manager for Bachy Soletanche’s Irish division, said: ‘When complete, the River Suir Bridge will become the longest suspension bridge in Ireland.’
