One year on from the opening of the New Ross Bypass and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge, the route is already proving very beneficial to the area, with link roads being incorporated into the South East Greenway.
The landmark nine span Rose Kennedy Fitzgerald Bridge is the longest of its kind in the world. This Extrados Bridge is 900 meters long, has eight piers and three towers.
Wexford County Council Project liaison officer, Sean Dobbs said: We opened at the end of January. Within seven weeks Covid hit. We hadn t quite foreseen what was going to happen in the last ten months. At the time we were looking forward to a bright future for New Ross and the whole region. With the opening of the bypass but obviously it has been a very different year for people.
