Coffey delivers transport infrastructure that improves connectivity, supports sustainable travel and enhances the public realm across Ireland and the UK. Our teams work with local authorities, transport agencies and developers to build and upgrade roads, bridges, active travel routes and public transport interfaces.
We understand the demands of working in live environments, where safety, coordination and careful phasing are essential. Our approach supports reliable delivery while maintaining access for road users, pedestrians and surrounding communities.
