The R148 is one of Ireland's regional roads which was classified following the opening of a by-passed National Primary route.

The section of the old N4 which has been by-passed by the M4 motorway was reclassified R148. The R148 runs from Dublin to Kinnegad in County Westmeath.

The road is 45km long.

[edit] Route

The route starts (east-west) in Lucan, County Dublin at the same grade separated interchange at which the M4 begins. Less than 1km west it crosses the River Liffey into Leixlip in County Kildare.

It then passes through Leixlip, Maynooth, Kilcock, Enfield and Clonard before rejoining the N4 west of Kinnegad.
