Motorists are about to be hit with the highest price rises allowed for road tolls.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland says it’s decision, which will see the cost of using the Limerick Tunnel go up by 10 cent, is ‘driven by the current rate of inflation’.
Under the changes, the cost of using one of Irelands ten toll roads on the national road network will rise by up to 60 cent a journey.
Tolls for the 8 public-private partnership companies running the countries other motorways will rise by either 10 or 20 cent depending on the route, with tolls for cars at the Limerick Tunnel going up to €2.10.
On the M50 in Dublin, the cost will rise from 2.10 to 2.30 for those using tags, from 2.70 to 2.90 for those captured on video, and from 3.20 to 3.50 for unregistered vehicles.
The Dublin Port Tunnel the only tolled road not facing an increase.
The above charges relate to those driving cars, with charges higher again for those driving vans, buses and heavy vehicles.
The hikes have been approved by Transport Infrastructure Ireland and will come into force from January 1st 2023.
