Extensive road improvement works have been taking place on County Waterford’s scenic Coast Road.

Waterford City and County Council previously outlined its intention to realign part of the R675 which links Tramore and Dungarvan.

Following a storm event in April of last year, a combination of heavy rainfall and wave overtopping caused some erosion to the cliff face in the Boatstrand area.

Waterford Council said it intended to realign the road away from the cliff face in the medium to long term.

Now, a newly aligned section of the route has opened with some work continuing in the surrounding area.
