The €230 million N25 New Ross Bypass public-private partnership (PPP) project in County Wexford, Republic of Ireland has reached financial close.
2579 Mott MacDonald is technical advisor on the public-private partnership, awarded by the 5525 National Roads Authority, otherwise known as Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
Work will be carried out by7456 BAM Ireland and 4761 Dragados, a construction division of 917 ACS Group, based in Spain.
The scheme involves construction of 13.6km of dual carriageway and 1.2km of new or upgraded single carriageway. It will also link the N25 with the N30 New Ross to Enniscorthy route.
Contractors will also build a 900m three-tower extrados bridge over the River Barrow - the longest of its kind in the world – to connect Pink Point in County Kilkenny with Stokestown in County Wexford.
Mott MacDonald has been involved in the project since the original feasibility study in 1999, bringing the project successfully through all stages from feasibility, through route selection and preliminary design, to tender preparation and specimen design. The consultancy will now provide design review and construction monitoring services in an ongoing role.
“Our work on this scheme builds on our role on the award-winning N25 Waterford Bypass following its opening in 2009,” said John Murphy, Mott MacDonald’s project director.
Construction of the N25 New Ross Bypass is due to be completed in 2019, which will be followed by a 25-year operation and maintenance period.
Among Mott MacDonald’s other recent PPP projects are the Turkey’s northern Marmara sea motorway and Istanbul’s third Bosphorus bridge, all as part of a £1.6 billion project to build, operate and maintain a 95km motorway and the world’s largest combined road/rail stiffened suspension bridge. Mott MacDonald is the lenders’ technical advisor for the 10-year concession period.
Also, in the Netherlands, Mott MacDonald is the lender’s technical advisor for the A9 Gaasperdammerweg motorway. The €700 million project will reconstruct and expand the A9 motorway between the junctions of Holendrecht and Diemen.
