The Red Cow Roundabout is also to be replaced with a near-freeflow interchange, as part of a €1.1 billion project to upgrade the M50.
Outside Dublin, five consecutive bypass projects lasting from 1983 to 2004, around Naas, Newbridge, Kildare, Monasterevin and Portlaoise, have replaced the single carriageway road with motorway.
This route section is designated the M7 motorway, and is continuous between north of Naas and south of Portlaoise, following the opening of the Monasterevin bypass in late 2004.
