West-Link, Toll bridge on M50 motorway in Dublin, Ireland.

The West-Link consists of twin bridges spanning 385 metres across the River Liffey, reaching a height of 42 metres at its highest point.

The first span of the bridge opened in 1990 as the initial section of the M50 motorway, with a second span added in September 2003.

The bridge structure represents the evolution of Dublin's infrastructure, connecting the northern and southern regions of the expanding metropolitan area.

Electronic tolling systems operate through overhead gantries, allowing drivers with tag accounts to pay €2.20, while unregistered vehicles can pay through Payzone or online.

Located in the Strawberry Beds area, this bridge remains the sole major crossing point between Chapelizod and Lucan Bridge, handling 98,000 vehicles daily.
