The R147 follows the greater part of the old route of the N3 from Phibsborough in the city of Dublin to the current N3 at Derver, 9 km west-north-west of Kells in County Meath, via Dunshauglin and Navan.
In 2007, shortly before the R147 took over from this part of the N3, a new Grade Separated Junction was built to serve the Phoenix Park Racecourse development. As of 2020, the planned apartments haven't materialised, meaning the flyover only serves the new railway station.
