Updates on Ferrybank and Meaghers Quay roadworks
South Quays Plaza
Updates have been provided on the ongoing traffic management in Ferrybank and Waterford city resulting from the North Quays works.
All roadworks in the vicinity of Dock Road, Fountain Street and Abbey Road are progressing towards completion this Summer.
The final traffic arrangements are now beginning to come into operation and the final road surfacing and other finishing works will be completed in the coming months.
A new signalised traffic junction at the former Ard Ri Hotel entrance on Dock Road is now in temporary operation, providing a new interim access to the North Quays site.
The railway level crossing located at the previous site access point at the junction of Fountain Street and Rockshire Road will now be permanently closed to facilitate the completion of the transport hub and the railway flood defence works.
Works have also been progressing on the new South Quays Plaza.
This public plaza will create a focal point and public gateway centred on the Clock Tower that will connect the sustainable transport bridge with the South Quays, Barronstrand Street and onwards to the city centre.
Works and associated traffic management on the South Quays have commenced to complete necessary road works.
From this week, the bus stop at the Meaghers Quays / Clock Tower will be temporarily relocated 50 metres eastwards, to the bus lay-by adjacent to the iPairc car park.
This temporary bus stop will be served by local bus routes. From early June the works will progress west of the Clock Tower and traffic management will continue to be in place.
A statement contained within the North Quays April newsletter says: “We ask that all road users and pedestrians follow the directional signage for the duration of the works, and your cooperation with these necessary works is appreciated.”
