Motorists face price hike on West Link toll bridge

MOTORISTS face more misery in Dublin in the New Year when charges for the West Link toll bridge increase by 10 cent.

National Toll Roads, which runs the bridge on the M50, will increase the price for cars from January 1, and increases for vans, trucks and other commercial vehicles to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

The standard charge will rise to €1.90 and further announcements of price rises are expected for users of the East Link toll bridge — across the Liffey — and for the North Link toll bridge on the Drogheda bypass.
