The M8 crossing the R639 (the former N8)

Before the M8 Dublin to Cork motorway was opened (the adjacent stretch in July 2008), this was the N8, which explains its high standard for a Regional (class R) road. As there are no tolls on the adjacent section of the M8, the R639 carries little traffic and it is now a pleasure to drive along it.
