The [[A2 road (Northern Ireland)|A2 road]] connects Warrenpoint to Newry, by way of [[Narrow Water Castle]]. A bus service links Newry, Warrenpoint and Rostrevor along the A2. The long-planned [[Narrow Water Bridge]] to [[Omeath]] was expected to begin construction during 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-06-29 |title=Taoiseach announces Shared Island Funding to progress work on much anticipated Narrow Water Bridge Project |url=https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/cd51e-taoiseach-announces-shared-island-funding-to-progress-work-on-much-anticipated-narrow-water-bridge-project/ |access-date=2024-03-08 |website=www.gov.ie |language=en}}</ref>

The [[Newry, Warrenpoint and Rostrevor Railway]] opened in 1849 and was taken over by the [[Great Northern Railway (Ireland)]] in 1889, operating with the [[Newry and Armagh Railway]] as part of the branch to {{rws|Armagh}} before it closed to passengers in 1933. The line to Warrenpoint eventually closed down in 1965, with the railway trackbed used to build the A2 dual carriageway. [[Warrenpoint railway station]] was located next to the docks. Railway service was never extended to [[Rostrevor]], but from 1877 until 1915 the [[Warrenpoint and Rostrevor Tramway]] ran horse-drawn trams on the route.
