R147

Doyle's Corner, north of Dublin city centre, is the intersection of two busy roads, the R135 (Phibsborough Road / North Circular Road, ahead and to the right) and the R147 (North Circular Road, to the left but not visible here)

The R147 ten kilometres north of Dunshaughlin

Headfort Place, Kells. At the time this image was taken, Headfort Place was part of the N3 (Navan Road). With Kells now bypassed on two sides, this road is today part of the R147.

Looking north-west on the former N3 towards the Blanchardstown Interchange.

The sign for J71 of the Dublin Outer Orbital, on North Circular Road, by St Peter's Church.

Old road signs at Cabra Cross, where motorists choose between the North Circular Road towards Dublin Port, or the Old Cabra Road through Stoneybatter to the city centre. Today, all traffic is directed towards the North Circular, to relieve Stoneybatter.

N3 slip road to the M50 Northbound

The overpass for the new city- and M50 south-bound is visible in the background.

The way the N3 used to go

In the days before the M50, the N3 ran like this. The path can now be followed only by peds as a footbridge completes the old route over the motorway. I can vaguely remember when the M50 Western Parkway was opened and it ended here (the Northen Cross had not yet opened) at a T junction with traffic lights!

Detailed lane designation signs outside what was Phoenix Park station, now Navan Road Parkway. Due to the station having a tiny catchment area (mostly undeveloped land), it has been mostly abandoned throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, despite the car park and booking hall being opened every day.
