The
R445 road is a
regional road in
Ireland. The route is a non-motorway alternative route to the
N7/
M7 motorway between
Naas and
Limerick, and at 170 km it is one of the longest regional roads in Ireland (longer than most national roads). Indeed, much of the route comprises roads that were formerly part of the N7 between the cities, prior to motorway and other bypasses. Some of the R445 route also comprises local link roads to new N7/M7 route sections.
