New traffic flow layout in Waterford City centre begins July 17th
A new traffic flow layout will come into force in Waterford City centre, beginning Monday, July 17th. The changes form part of the Waterford City Centre Urban Renewal works, which were passed by resolution of Council at the Plenary Meeting on 12th November 2015. The first part of this scheme was the covering of the Applemarket.
Changes to traffic layout in the city centre were part of the above, including the provision of measures to improve pedestrian, cycle and public transport access and to minimise unnecessary ‘through’ traffic.
