The four major towns are linked to Rosslare Europort by an excellent road
network. The N11 from
the Dublin – Belfast corridor links the towns of Gorey, Enniscorthy and
Wexford in a north- south
axis. The N25 links New Ross and
Wexford to Rosslare. These major roads
are designated as
‘Euroroute 1’ and ‘Euroroute 2’ respectively.
There are several small harbours dotted around this coastline and a major
seaport located at Rosslare Europort. Rosslare Europort is the third largest
port on the
island in terms of capacity
and usage. Rosslare has been identified
as having the potential for a
larger share of future
development than Dublin and Belfast, which currently have problems with
traffic congestion.
There is a long established rail network covering the county and including
the 4 major towns.
The Rosslare – Dublin line carries passengers to and from Rosslare
Europort
on 3 inward and 3
outward journeys per day. The Rosslare- Limerick train
serves Wexford and
New Ross with 2
inward and 2 outward journeys per day.

Wexford is expected to become a
large beneficiary from the initiatives
in the National Development
Plan over the next six years. In practice
these developments will be
infrastructural making Wexford
an increasingly attractive location for large multinational companies.
