Approaching the Tollbooths on the Waterford Bypass (northbound)
The N25 Waterford Bypass including the 465 metre-long cable-stayed bridge over the River Suir opened to traffic in October 2009 to alleviate congestion in and around the port and improve the travelling conditions in the region by making the journey shorter and safer. About 14,000 vehicles use the Waterford bypass each day reducing the traffic volumes using the Rice Bridge by about 30%. The Waterford bypass has helped by taking about 10,000 to 12,000 vehicles a day away from the city quays.

The road is operated as a toll road with five toll lanes in each direction and a toll plaza located on the South side of the River Suir Bridge. The toll plaza includes an administration building, toll plaza canopy and tunnel and associated toll collection system, located in Gracedieu.
