Road upgrade boosts airport

THE €8 million upgrade of Waterford’s Airport Road is now open to traffic, making access to the regional airport easier for the growing number of passengers availing of its routes to Britain and continental Europe.

Work on the upgrade of the road, which links the airport at Killowen in Co Waterford to Waterford City, began early this year.

The new high-quality road connects to the Waterford city outer ring road and will eventually provide direct access to the Waterford city by-pass and the Dublin motorway when these projects are complete.
