Lengthy delays are being reported in Waterford City today as a result of works to facilitate part of the North Quays Development.

The South Quays inbound lane closure is to facilitate deep excavation works as well as the installation of traffic lights to the east and west of the Clock Tower.

Traffic diversions at Rice Bridge, temporary relocation of the bus stop at Meagher’s Quay and the closure of the pedestrian crossings at the Clock Tower are in place and clearly indicated.

The public is advised to adhere to all local traffic management and follow the diversion route and directional signage for the duration of the works.

Outbound traffic is not affected.

Access for emergency services will be maintained for the duration of the works, and Merchants Quay and Clyde Wharf car parks will be accessible to outbound traffic.

Waterford City and County Council and BAM apologise for any inconvenience caused and seek the understanding and co-operation of the public during the course of these works.
