East-Link (Dublin)

From Free net encyclopedia

The East-Link is a toll bridge in Dublin, Ireland, on the River Liffey, operated by NTR plc. It was built and opened to vehicular traffic in 1984. The city centre is west of the bridge, which links routes on the eastern side of Dublin city. The Dublin port tunnel will terminate near the Eastlink, in the Docklands on the north bank of the Liffey. Most of Dublin's docklands are east of the bridge, but it is raised on average three times per day to allow river traffic to pass. Currently 22,000 vehicles per day cross the East-Link bridge.
