More Rosslare news this week in the Wexford People. One comment that was mentioned is Irish Rail are responsible for the access road out of the harbour whch has been in a poor state for the last six months and combined with a 500% increase in Freight traffic is now beyond a few shovels of tar and chippings.

Has there been any more improvements to the port lately or has all the plans and investment that was mooted in the materplan stopped due to covid?

Re: Investment at Rosslare Europort Reply #178 on: May 04, 2021, 08:56:14 AM

RE improvement works
by chance I spotted that Phase 1 of the works went out to tender last Friday.
New access road and New freight entrance.
