The R113 road is a regional road in Ireland. Located in Dublin, it forms a ''semi-orbital'' route around the south of the city. As of 2007, clockwise, it starts at the N31 at ''Temple Hill'' in Blackrock and ends at a junction with the N4 at Palmerstown. The road is one of the busiest Regional Roads in Ireland. The Liffey Valley Shopping Centre, and The Square, Tallaght, two of the busiest shopping centres in Ireland, are both located just off the route. Both the ''Fonthill Road'' (in Lucan/Clondalkin) and ''Belgard Road'' (in Tallaght) sections also have a number of large retail outlets. The ''Belgard Road'' section, running between the N7 at Newlands Cross and the N81 at Tallaght, is a standard dual carriageway and the main thoroughfare in the Tallaght area. == Route == The official description of the R113 from the ''Roads Act 1993 (Classification of Regional Roads) Order 2006'' 〔(Statutory Instrument 188 of 2006 — Roads Act 1993 (Classification of Regional Roads) Order 2006 ), ''Irish Statute Book'' (irishstatutebook.ie).

Clondalkin/Fonthill railway station is located on R113 at this point. * It crosses the R134 at a double roundabout junction and follows the ''Fonthill Road North'' for before terminating at a grade separated junction (junction 2) with the N4 at ''Quarryvale''/Liffey Valley Shopping Centre. * Plans to carry the road north, across the River Liffey, seem to have been abandoned. Possibly due to concerns that a "free" crossing just one kilometer upstream from the West-Link on the M50 would cause massive re-routing of traffic (and, of course, loss of West-Link revenue). Note: As of 2008 the former R113 route via Ticknock, Tibradden, Rockbrock and Mount Venus is still partially signposted 'R113' and the new R113 is still partially signed as a variety of other regional routes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「R113 road (Ireland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
