Heads up motorists - Toll rates on motorways and Dublin Port Tunnel set to increase in 2025

The Board of Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has approved increases in tolls from 2025 for several motorways and the Dublin Port Tunnel.

TII confirmed the contractual agreement for the increase in tolls for the eight PPP toll roads today, which includes the M1, M3, M4, M7/M8, M8, N18 Limerick Tunnel, and N25 Waterford.

On eight roads there will be a 10-cent increase for buses, coaches and HGVs, except for the M3 where tolls for HGVs not exceeding 3,500kg remain unchanged.

For cars on these roads, there is no increase except for the M4 Kilcock to Kinnegad where there is a 10-cent increase.

The TII said the increases come after the consumer price index increased by 1.7 per cent between August 2023 to last August.

On the M50, there will be a 10-cent increase for cars, buses, coaches and lighter goods vehicles that are not registered with a tag or video account.

There is no increase for cars who do have a tag or video account.

Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) exceeding 10,000kg with a tag and video account will also see a 10-cent increase, with a 20 cent increase for unregistered HGVs.

Dublin Port Tunnel will see an increase of €1 for southbound traffic at peak AM times, rising from €12 to €13.

TII said this increase was warranted to preserve capacity for HGVs, which will continue to have free travel at the tunnel at all times.

Remaining Port Tunnel tolls will remain unchanged.
