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.
