Ferry Bridge Closure Notice: Important Travel Updates for Kilkenny and Wexford Residents

The Ferry Bridge, a vital link connecting Kilkenny and Wexford across the River Barrow, will be fully closed from June 24 to August 28. This closure affects all traffic, including pedestrians and cyclists, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you live in the area or travel this route regularly, it is essential to plan ahead to avoid delays and disruptions.

What the Closure Means for You

The closure is a full shutdown of the Ferry Bridge. No vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists will be allowed to cross during this period. This means:

• No access at any time, day or night.

• No exceptions for local traffic or emergency vehicles.

• Alternative routes must be used for all travel between Kilkenny and Wexford.

  
  

This is a significant disruption for daily commuters, local businesses, and residents who rely on the bridge for quick access.

Plan Extra Time for Medical Appointments

If you have GP or nurse appointments scheduled during this period, allow extra travel time. The closure will increase journey times, especially during peak hours.
