Work gets underway on upgrading of popular riverwalk in Waterford city

Work has got underway on the upgrading of a popular riverwalk in Waterford city.

Resurfacing works are being undertaken on the Maypark Trail near the Dunmore Road.

Work got underway on the riverwalk on Monday morning and is expected to continue for a number of days.

A new pathway is also being constructed to connect The Moorings housing estate to the riverwalk.

Independent councillor David Daniels welcomed the commencement of the upgrading works.

In a post on Facebook, Cllr Daniels wrote: “It is great to see the council’s ongoing commitment to the riverwalk, with works continuing on its extension and building on previous enhancements.

“This is particularly meaningful to me, as one of the last enhancements my late father worked on was the extension of the riverwalk to Glenville a number of years ago.

“It is fantastic to see that work continuing and the riverwalk being further improved for the community.”

The riverwalk will remain open to the public for the duration of the works.

Waterford City and County Council has thanked the public for their patience and co-operation while the works are being carried out.
