ALERT: Disruption expected as investigations get underway on busy road in Waterford city
Waterford City and County Council has thanked the public for their patience
Disruption is expected as site investigations get underway on a busy road in Waterford city this morning.
Site investigation works will be carried out at various locations along the full length of Williamstown Road from today.
These works are being undertaken in preparation for the Williamstown Road Active Travel Scheme and are expected to continue for approximately two weeks.
As part of the works, a total of 15 slit trenches and 12 trial pits will be dug.
These investigations are being undertaken to gather information on the location of existing underground services including water, sewers, electrical services and communications ducting.
They will also help to establish an understanding of the existing soil conditions and assist in the planning and design of the proposed works.
The majority of the works will be carried out in off-road locations.
Where works require traffic management, a Stop/Go system will be in place, with these works undertaken during off-peak traffic periods wherever possible to minimise disruption to road users.
Waterford City and County Council has thanked the public for their patience and cooperation while these works are being carried out.
