N33 road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The N33 road is a National Primary Route in the Ireland. It provides a link road in County Louth between the N2 and M1 routes. The route connects to the N2 near Ardee, and connects to a junction on the M1 along the Dunleer Bypass almost directly east of the junction on the N2. As of 2006 it is the most recently allocated National Primary Route number.

The route was heavily used prior to its recent designation as a National Primary Route. Prior to the 2006 addition to the statutes, while it carried the N33 designation on the ground, this had no legal basis (although this was the next available and logical number). It was a national route without a number. In the Roads Act, 1993, (Declaration of National Roads) Order 1994 (S.I. No. 209 of 1994) it is merely listed as "County Louth Dunleer/Ardee new link Between N1 Dunleer By-Pass and N2 north of Ardee".
