R772 road

R772 road

The R772 is a regional road comprised of disconnected sections of road which once formed part of the N11 but which have now been by-passed, joined together by some new road sections and some former local roads.

Route (sections)

*1) Through Newtownmountkennedy, via existing single track local roads to "Coynes Cross", Ashford, Rathnew to the N11 Junction at "Blackhill Road"
*2) Through Arklow and onwards via the old N11 through Inch and Gorey until a roundabout south of Clogh, County Wexford.

Trivia

To follow the R772 after passing through the town of Newtownmountkennedy (southbound) you must take an unsigned right-turn into a local road; then after climbing nearly 2 km, there is an unmarked left turn into a single-track local access road which takes you downhill for a kilometer , under the new N11, to join the bypassed former N11. This must be the most bizarre stretch of regional road in the country.
