In February 2024, the N25 Rosslare Europort Access Road Scheme progressed from Phase 4 (Statutory Processes) to Phase 5 (Enabling and Procurement) of TII’s Project Management Guidelines.

The purpose of Phase 5 is to compile tender documentation to allow for the appointment of a Contractor to execute the main construction contract, and to complete any necessary enabling works to facilitate the main construction works.

The Project Team is currently progressing the project through Phase 5 and development of the tender documentation is ongoing.  On completion of Phase 5, and subject to receiving the necessary approvals and the availability of funding, the project will progress to Phase 6 (Construction and Implementation).

Rosslare Europort is a key strategic transport link between Ireland and both the European mainland and the United Kingdom. Wexford County Council is proposing to provide improved access to Rosslare Europort from the N25 National Primary Road to ensure and secure the sustainability and competitiveness of this key transport link.

The main objectives of the project are as follows:

  • To improve accessibility and connectivity to Rosslare Europort, secure the sustainability of access to the Port and mitigate the risks from current constraints and limitations of the existing access.
  • Improve road safety and the local environment in the village of Rosslare Harbour
  • To promote balance regional development by improving access to the south-east and Rosslare Europort

 

Tramore House Regional Design Office are managing the project with Wexford County Council and Mott MacDonald Ireland have been appointed to advance the project through the planning and design process. The scheme will be developed in stages, with opportunities for the public to take part in the decision-making as the scheme develops.
