Wicklow councillors passed a Part 8 at December’s meeting for the Wicklow Port access point link which aims to cut down on the levels of congestion.The proposed development will also involve the construction of parking and set-down areas, and a pedestrian and cycle bride spanning the railway line.The primary need for the proposed development is to implement a safe, direct, and high-quality pedestrian and cycle link across the Dublin Rosslare railway line, connecting Station Road and the Wicklow Port Access Road.

The proposed development will also greatly enhance the permeability of Wicklow Train Station and East Glendalough School, directly west of the station, as well as the existing residential and community facilities surrounding the subject site. It will also provide a high-quality pedestrian and cycle link that will significantly improve cycling and walking journey times. The development’s aim is to reduce the high levels of congestion currently experienced at peak times on the R750 regional road and Station Road local road, by enhancing the pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure, whilst creating a new connection point to the Wicklow park and ride, further alleviating the existing peak time congestion within the area.
