€525k allocated for N25 accident blackspot works

A notorious accident blackspot in west Waterford is set to be redesigned following almost 20 years of lobbying.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has allocated €525,000 to Waterford Council to help render safe the N25 crossroad junction at Cushcam Cross, near Dungarvan.

The turn-off, on the main Cork-Waterford route, has been the scene of several fatalities and numerous collisions over the years.
