A rolling road closure in place at Bilberry Road as part of Waterford's Greenway extension is now set to continue until the end of March.
The stretch between Grattan Quay and the Quarry Road has been fully closed to traffic since early last year.
Works began on the extension of the Greenway from Bilberry to the City Centre in October 2021.
The Bilberry Road has been closed to traffic since the 1st of March 2022.
It's hoped the enhancement and improvement of the 2.1 kilometre stretch will also provide for the future Greenway links to New Ross, Rosslare, and Tramore.
A 6.8 million euro contract was awarded to John Craddock Limited of Kilcullen for the works.
A temporary road closure was put in place between Grattan Quay and Waters Gate in November and December of 2021.
Then, early last year, the council announced that Grattan Quay to the Quarry Road would be completely closed to traffic from March until the end of December.
Another extension was then announced, bringing the closure up to the end of February this year.
And now, this afternoon, a notice has been issued that the road will remain closed until the 31st of March.
Local access will be maintained for all residents, businesses, and Greenway cyclists and pedestrians.
The diversion route will remain as is - via Bridge Street, Gracedieu Road, and Quarry Road.
