N32 road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The N32 road is a short National Primary Route in the Ireland running from Junction 3 on the M1 and M50 motorways, near Dublin Airport, to the Malahide road at Clare Hall. It is effectively a non-motorway section of the M50 Dublin C-Ring, but is only built to regular highway status. A short part of the route has motorway restrictions on it as leads to the M1 / M50 interchange (and is confusingly signposted as both N32 and M50), as only motorway traffic can access both routes.

As effectively part of the M50 route, it would according to the Republic of Ireland road naming scheme usually be named as the N50, but has been designated N32 instead.

However since the opening of the Dublin Port Tunnel the M50 is now extended, turning south to Dublin Port at the M1/M50/N32 junction; where the M1 now terminates.
