East Wall Road (Irish: Bóthar an Phoirt Thoir) runs from the junction of the East-Link drawbridge and North Wall Quay, along the side of the northern part of Dublin port to the junction of the North Strand Road and Poplar Row.

## History

East Wall Road takes its name from its eastern position within Dublin city, and appear on maps in 1851 and 1876.
