Road travel times shown

MOTORISTS driving up and down from Dublin on the M1 can now tell exactly how long their journey will take — without having to consult a map or rely on past journeys.

The National Road Authority has put up six display boards to flash up journey times for drivers heading to key junctions on the M1, which links Dublin and Belfast.

Four of the boards are on the southbound carriageway near Dundalk, Drumleck, Drogheda and Skerries-Lusk while two are on the northbound stretch near Balbriggan and Dublin Airport.
