A public consultation has been launched on the proposed construction of a three kilometre cycle and pedestrian improvement scheme in Tramore.

The proposed improvement scheme will take place along the R675 Tramore Ring Road between Riverstown Roundabout and Newtown Roundabout.

Waterford City & County Council said the objective of the scheme is to prioritise cycle and pedestrian movements over vehicles. Whilst providing a safer connection between the three primary schools, the secondary school, sports grounds and housing estates along the stretch of the scheme.
