Areas : Waterford
Labour Party Councillor Seamus Ryan has called on the Department of Transport to give
immediate approval for the Old Tramore Road Improvement Scheme.
Cllr Ryan has been informed by the Roads Department, Waterford City Council that the project was
put out to tender with a closing date of August 12th last. The tenders received now have to be assessed and approval obtained from the Department of Transport to proceed to contract. According to the Roads Department the timeframe for commencement of the project depends
greatly on how long it takes to get approval from the Dept of Transport.
Cllr Ryan went on to state that the road from Avondale to the Couse Roundabout is a particularly
dangerous one and needs to be improved immediately. “I am calling on the Department of Transport to approve this contract immediately and allow the much needed improvements to
be made to this road. Residents living along the Old Tramore Road deserve to have a road that is safe for the both pedestrians and vehicles alike.”
