A new traffic management system will be in place in the Ferrybank area from Tuesday, February 20th to progress the next phase of the Waterford City Public Infrastructure Project (North Quays), it has been confirmed.
The next phase of traffic management in Ferrybank will commence from Tuesday 20th February, on Fountain Street between the junctions with Rockshire Road and Abbey Road. It is anticipated that this works phase will take approximately six weeks to complete.
Warnings and signage will be in place throughout these works and on approaches, the local authority confirmed.
"Waterford City and County Council appreciates the public’s continued patience and cooperation while this extensive infrastructure project progresses," a spokesperson said
"When works are complete it will deliver a new realigned section of Abbey Road with increased capacity, while the footprint of the existing Abbey Road will be recreated to a cycle and pedestrian friendly local road access for the schools and nursing home located on this section of the road," they said.
A direct access to the new South East Greenway will also be created.
