[edit] Quality of Road

The road is single carriageway two-lane throughout, and has not bypassed any of the towns and villages along its route. The quality of the surface, pavement and alignment varies, but it has no stretch of fully realigned 'two-lane with hard shoulders' section.

Some sections are very poor indeed (see gallery).

Road marking and signage is good to excellent on most of the route.

Templemore

Some sections very poor
