Traffic plans for Wexford’s Newtown Road

By Dan Walsh

There is important information for road users and the Stop/Go system in operation outside Applegreen on the Newtown Road between Wexford Racecourse and the Maldron Hotel roundabout.

This has opened to a two-way traffic flow from 6.30pm this evening (Wednesday). The Stop/Go traffic management will be reinstated at 9.30am tomorrow (Thursday) morning until 4.30pm. tomorrow evening. Road works will then be recommenced following the Bank Holiday weekend on Tuesday, April 2nd.

Meanwhile, the main contractor, Glas Civil Engineering Ltd, have issued an apology to road users who were subjected to long delays and traffic confusion that occurred this morning at the roadworks on the Newtown Road.

“Completion of our works were unfortunately delayed due to weather and other circumstances which necessitated the works continuing into the morning of Wednesday. The delays were also compounded by an over ambitious night works programme in trying to complete the works as quickly as possible. This will not be repeated,” said the statement, which added; “We would like to apologise for the delays caused this morning and we want to assure that these delays will not be repeated.”
