Dublin Outer Orbital Motorway

Dublin Outer Orbital Motorway is a title given to a vague proposal to bypass the Dublin area completely for long distance traffic, other than that from the N11 corridor.

The motorway stems from the original Co. Dublin economic studies in the 1960s, which made a detailed proposal for a motorway running from Naas to Drogheda, which would carry long-distance traffic and serve Dublin's new western suburbs. The concept was mentioned again in the 1980s, but was considered to be a very low priority. It is still occasionally mentioned in the 2020s, but looks increasingly unlikely to be built.
