Wexford motorists can expect ‘delays and disruption' as investigative works are carried out on New Ross bridge

Motorists in New Ross can expect significant delays and disruptions when using O'Hanrahan Bridge next month as investigative works are carried out in advance of a larger project next year. Beginning in late June, there will be diversions in place on the bridge for four weeks while Wexford County Council (WCC) engineers begin preparing for rehabilitative works which will lead to a three-metre walkway being installed. 'This is good news but it'll cause great disruption,' said director of services for the New Ross Municipal District (NRMD) Eamonn Hore. 'Investigations will be carried out for the extension works which will see a three metre walkway installed on the Dunbrody side of the bridge, there will be significant traffic delays and disruptions." Explaining that the works had been timed to coincide with the end of the Leaving Cert so that no students will be impaired by the delays, Mr Hore said the full works on the bridge would start in 2026 and, once complete, would see the new walkway aligned with the greenway and active travel scheme in New Ross.
