N25 New Ross Bypass
Ireland
Investing in South East Ireland’s Landmark Road Structure , which holds the record for the longest concrete extradosed span in the world.
Introduction
Major road infrastructure investment in Ireland’s South-East region was required to relieve chronic traffic congestion and future proof the region’s economy. To tackle existing bottlenecks and address significant traffic delays, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) delivered the N25 New Ross Bypass as part of their road infrastructure PPP programme.
The N25 New Ross Bypass forms part of the Trans-European Network-Transport (TEN-T) and is a strategic link in Ireland’s national road network, connecting Cork and Rosslare Europort and forms part of the Atlantic Road Corridor route.
A key feature of this transport link is the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge – a seven-pier extrados bridge with an overall length of 887m and two main spans of 230m each. The landmark structure holds the record for the longest concrete extradosed bridge in the world.
