Roadworks have got underway as a one-way system in Waterford city is set to become permanent.
Waterford City and County Council commenced construction works in the Newtown area this morning.
The infrastructure works are in relation to the St. John of God National School, Passage Road, Active Travel Safe Routes to School Scheme (SRTS), and the Newtown Area One-Way Systems.
The works will see the trial one-way systems that have been in place formalised through the installation of permanent infrastructure.
This will involve Wilkin Street, Passage Road, St. Alphonsus Road, a section of Newtown Lower and a section of Water Street.
The works for the above SRTS Scheme and one-way systems will take place on or adjacent to Passage Road, John's Hill, Wilkin's Street, St. Alphonsus Road, Newtown Lower and Water Street.
The appointed contractors will implement traffic management systems for the duration of the works.
As the works will be taking place on or adjacent to public roads, residents and road users may experience some disruption.
The council has said that every effort will be made to minimise inconvenience.
