The R132 road is one of Ireland's newest regional roads, having been classified following the opening M1 motorway which by-passes most of the old N1 route. The R132 is 98.9 kilometres (61.5 mi) long.
By-passed sections of the old N1 were reclassified R132. The route has a highly varying road quality, with some sections of dual carriageway such as the original Swords Bypass, and the original run-in to the M1 Balbriggan Bypass; much wide standard two-lane road, and some very poor segments.
Some sections, such as that through Drogheda, are still signed "N1" though the town was bypassed in 2003.
The official description of the R132 from the Roads Act 1993 (Classification of Regional Roads) Order 2012[1] reads:
R132: Dublin — Dundalk, County Louth (Part Old National Route 1)
