Like other eToll systems, eFlow allows cashless payment on all of Ireland's toll roads. eFlow uses overhead cameras on the M50 and detectors to read electronic tags or number plates on vehicles. In 2007 the National Roads Authority awarded the contract to construct and operate the new tolling system for the M50 to Sanef ITS Operations Ireland ...
The M50 route was extended to Dublin Port in 2006, via a section of the 1985 Airport Motorway ... as was the former toll plaza north of the West-Link bridge.
When complete, the expected toll was to cost the driver "about sixty pence". [1] The bridge was constructed as part of the first phase of the M50 motorway, and it and the section of motorway associated with it (Junctions 6-7) were the first section of the M50 to open in 1990. [2]
The Dublin Tunnel (Irish: Tollán Bhaile Átha Cliath), originally and still commonly known as the Port Tunnel, is a road traffic tunnel in Dublin, Ireland, that forms part of the M50 motorway. The twin tunnels form a two-lane dual carriageway connecting Dublin Port , which lies to the east of central Dublin , and the M50 motorway at junction 2 ...
The M50 was the only motorway that initially did not form part of an existing national primary route, though it was designated as the national primary route N50 in 1994. In most cases, motorways have been built as a by-pass of a road previously forming the national road (e.g. M7 by-passing roads previously forming the N7).
The N2 commences at junction 5 of the M50 motorway.It then runs as a dual-carriageway for 17 km (10.5 miles) from the M50 to north of Ashbourne, County Meath.This project was opened on 25 May 2006, and includes 3.5 km (2.2 miles) of three lane dual carriageway built to motorway standard.
However, despite the opening of a second bridge in 2003, capacity and toll management of the West-Link was woefully inadequate, resulting in massive congestion on the Dublin M50 ring road. In 2007, the government bought out NTR's concession and introduced barrier-free tolling in order to end the jams.
