Holgate - Ahead of Schedule on
the N25 Waterford By-Pass
(Oct 2009)
Holgate is currently
putting the finishing touches to the safety barrier
on the N25 Waterford by-pass ahead of its upcoming
opening.
The scheme is being constructed by Celtic Road
Group (Waterford) Ltd - a consortium consisting
of Dragados (Spain), National Toll Roads, and
Royal Bam (formerly Ascon), and comprises the
construction of the N25 by-pass extending from
Kilmeaden in Co. Waterford to Slieverue in Co.
Kilkenny.
The route crosses the River Suir at Grannagh,
thus providing |
 |
Waterford with a second major bridge
over the Suir and allowing traffic on the N25 Cork–Rosslare
route to bypass the city.
The scheme comprises approximately
23 km of dual carriageway, a Suir bridge of approximately
475 m length and approximately 4 km of single carriageway
construction. There is an additional 11 km of side roads
and tie–ins and a 2 km railway realignment (narrow
gauge excluding track works) in the area of the western
link junction. Two grade separated junctions and two
at-grade roundabouts are included in the main by-pass.
A further five at-grade roundabouts are included in
the link roads. Holgate’s contract included the
provision of over 30km of Vetex N2 containment crash
barrier, and also the installation of High containment
H4 barrier to stringent Irish rail requirements on 3
railway bridges.
The N25 Waterford By-Pass completion marks the first
step in providing dual carriageway motoring from Waterford
to Kilcullen in Co.Kildare, linking up with the existing
M9. Holgate is also currently carrying out barrier installation
on the Knocktopher to Powerstown section of this route
for Roadbridge Ltd.
