The non-motorway section following the end of the M4 has a 100 km/h, narrower hard shoulders, and poorer sightlines. It begins approx 2 km after the M4/N6 split.

Note the new ADS for the first junction on the N6, call J2. Presumably the junction with the M4 is J1. N6 is not mentioned on the ADS, but is on the RCS. So much for consistency!

A few km west of Kinnegad, we have this stretch with an enormous reservation and mystery bridge piers to the left (south) of the road. No idea what these are for... perhaps the bridge piers are for a future extension of one of the B�rd na M�na narrow-gauge railways used to bring turf to the nearby Rhode power station.

'Toll' now appears as a control destination on quite a few signs.

Presumably the 80 km/h limit will be lifted when the Kinnegad - Kilbeggan scheme opens. In the distance, an 'end of motorway 500 metres' sign is visible.

The coned-off section is the under-construction Kinnegad to Kilbeggan HQDC.
