Frequently asked questions
The M3 project road motorway is 50km long. It also features 10km of dual carriageway (N3) from Kells to Carnaross, North of Kells.
There are six grade-separated junctions at Pace, Dunshaughlin, Blundelstown, Kilcarn, Athboy Road (N51) and Kilmainham.
The speed limit on the M3 Motorway is 120km per hour. Please bear in mind that on approach to the toll plaza you should follow the speed limits of 80km/hour and 50km/hour respectively.
Safety is our top priority! For your safety and security our vehicles constantly patrol the motorway. Eurolink M3 is aware of how dangerous stopping on the hard shoulder of a motorway could be; this is the reason why we have made sure that the distance between the emergency phones is only 1500m. The emergency phones can be used 24h a day, 365 days a year to contact the Emergency Control Centre. Also, for your information, they hold numbers of local subcontracted recovery companies.
You can use our emergency phones, or else you can contact Eurolink Motorway M3 Operations on (01) 691 0450 where one of our representatives will assist you. Alternatively, you can dial 112 or 999 for Emergency Services.
Eurolink M3 has a full team on board to regularly check and maintain the state of the carriageway, verges, drains, signs and structures.
There are two toll plazas in the M3 Motorway, the Southern Toll Plaza (Blackbull TP) between Dunshaughlin and Clonee and the Northern Toll Plaza (Grange TP) at Grange between Navan and Kells.
The Blackbull toll plaza consists of six lanes in each direction while the Grange Toll Plaza has four lanes in each direction.
Furthermore, both plazas have been equipped with a dedicated electronic tolling express lane (in each direction) that allows all light vehicles (class 2 and 4 vehicles) with a tag to drive through without stopping, just remember to keep at 50 km/h and enjoy an easy and quick transit.
The height of the restrictors in the express lanes and exact coin lanes is 2.2 metres. Please be aware of this limit when entering these lanes with a roofbox and eventually choose a different lane.
