Up to 20,000 vehicles a day will use the new N25 New Ross bypass, which is officially being opened today. The road will allow motorists travelling between Waterford and Wexford to avoid New Ross, a familiar bottleneck over the years. The Taoiseach will officially open the project this afternoon and it will be open to pubic traffic from midday tomorrow. "It will cater for traffic, up to 15,000-20,000 per day," he said. "It's going to take a significant amount of commuter traffic out of New Ross town itself and, very significantly, a huge amount of freight and heavy good traffic from the streets of New Ross."
