== Structure ==
The bridge crosses the [[River Liffey]] at a point known as the [[Strawberry Beds]]. On the motorway it starts at a point approximately 2&nbsp;km south of junction 6 ([[Blanchardstown]]) and runs to a point almost immediately north of junction 7 ([[Palmerstown]]). It is 385 metres long, and at its highest elevation, it is approximately 42 metres above the river.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.bridgesofdublin.ie/bridges/west-link-bridge/design-and-engineering | publisher = Dublin City Council | work = Bridges of Dublin | accessdate = 15 December 2016 | title= West-Link Bridge - Design and Engineering}}</ref> Figures from 2005 indicated that the bridge was carrying an average of 98,000 vehicles per day.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rte.ie/news/2005/0725/65797-westlink/ |title=NTR publishes West-Link figures - RTÉ News |publisher=Rte.ie |date=25 July 2005 |accessdate=6 March 2013}}</ref> The bridge is the only Liffey crossing between [[Chapelizod]] and [[Lucan Bridge]] (both of which are narrow two-lane structures) and thus it carries a large amount of traffic passing between the [[Northside (Dublin)|north]] and [[Southside (Dublin)|south]] Dublin suburbs.
