Limerick's central location in the midwest of Ireland means many national primary routes converge on the city.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.galwaytransport.info/2017/03/main-national-roads-in-ireland-metro-map-style.html | title=National roads in Ireland - simplified map | access-date=6 April 2017 | archive-date=7 April 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170407054503/http://www.galwaytransport.info/2017/03/main-national-roads-in-ireland-metro-map-style.html | url-status=live }}</ref> The [[M7 motorway (Ireland)|M7]] (Dublin), [[N18 road (Ireland)|N/M18]] (Galway, Ennis, Shannon), [[N20 road (Ireland)|N/M20]] (Cork), [[N21 road (Ireland)|N21]] (Tralee) and [[N24 road (Ireland)|N24]] (Waterford) routes all start/terminate in or near the city. Road infrastructure is further supplemented by the southern ring road and [[Limerick Tunnel]] bypass of the city and the M20 bypass of Dooradoyle and Raheen to the south of the city. Connections to the other cities were improved with the completion of the [[M7 motorway (Ireland)|M7 motorway]] in December 2010, and continuing upgrades ongoing to the N/M18 to Shannon, Ennis, Galway, and Tuam – the final section opened in September 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rte.ie/news/2017/0927/907774-galway-motorway/|title=M17/M18 Motorway|website=rte.ie|publisher=Raidió Teilifís Éireann|date=27 September 2017|access-date=14 October 2017|archive-date=4 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171004220027/https://www.rte.ie/news/2017/0927/907774-galway-motorway/|url-status=live}}</ref> A motorway is also planned between Cork and Limerick, with a proposed completion date in the mid-2020s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rte.ie/news/munster/2017/1013/912137-m20-limerick-cork/|title=M20 Motorway|website=rte.ie|publisher=Raidió Teilifís Éireann|date=13 October 2017|access-date=14 October 2017|archive-date=14 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014233921/https://www.rte.ie/news/munster/2017/1013/912137-m20-limerick-cork/|url-status=live}}</ref>
