From this week’s Parish Notes in the Kilkenny People
The South Plaza on the North Quay in South Kilkenny is due to open in the coming weeks, after completion of snagging and certification.
The Sustainable Transport Bridge will open in late 2027. Pier protections are going and some of the redundant piles are being removed. Flood protection on the west side are almost complete.
The train station works are due to commence. This work will be quite intensive due to the concentration of services, logistics and the confined area.
The Harcourt Development planning application went to further information which was submitted in June. A decision on the application based on further information is imminent. Works are anticipated for the second half of 2026.
Meanwhile, a contractor for resurfacing works in Slieverue has been appointed with a likely commencement date in mid to late September. Works are anticipated to last over three weeks.
