N6 toll road

The N6 road[1] is a national primary road in Ireland running from junction 11 on the M4 motorway at Kinnegad to Galway city. The N6 and N4 form a continuous motorway or dual carriageway from Dublin city centre to Galway City passing in an east–west direction through the midlands of Ireland. Most of the road is motorway standard (designated as M6 motorway) with the exception of the Athlone bypass and stretches of urban road in Galway City, which are the only sections of the road that remain designated as N6 dual carriageway.

The toll road is on the M6 motorway from Galway to Dublin route. The N6 toll is approximately 13.5km West of Ballinasloe /42km east of Galway. The toll applies to the section of the M6 between junction 15 (Ballinasloe West) and junction 16 (Loughrea).

The N6 road Toll Calculator calculates toll and tolls for all other toll motorways, roads, bridges and tunnels in Ireland for cars, trucks, trailers, caravans, motorhomes and motorcycles for peak and off-peak hours.
