The '''N19 road''' is a [[Nationalnational Primaryprimary Routeroad]] in [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], connecting from the [[N18 road (Ireland)|N18]] [[Limerick]]–[[Ennis]]–[[Galway]] road to [[Shannon Airport]]. It forms part of [[International E-road network|European route]] [[European route E20|E20]].

The route in its current form consists of a [[dual-carriageway]] passing around [[Shannon Town]], which starts at an interchange near ''Hurler's Cross'' on the N18 road. The dual-carriageway ends on the far side of Shannon Town at the ''Shannon Free Zone'' industrial estate, and proceeds as a two lane road to the airport.

The route in its current form consists mostly of a [[dual-carriageway]] passing around [[Shannon, County Clare|Shannon Town]], which starts at an interchange near ''Hurler's[[Hurlers Cross'']] on the N18 road. The dual-carriageway ends on the far side of Shannon Town at the ''Shannon Free Zone'' industrial estate, and proceeds as a two lane road to the airport.

Prior to the opening of this new dual-carriageway route in [[2004]], the route ran along a four-lane road through Shannon town centre itself. A junction without flyovers connected to what was then the end of the dual-carriageway section of the N18 (the dual-carriageway on that route now continues to Ennis).

Prior to the opening of this new dual-carriageway route in [[2004]], the route ran along a fourtwo-lane road through Shannon town centre itself. A junction without flyovers connected to what was then the end of the dual-carriageway section of the N18 (the dual-carriageway on that route now continues to EnnisGalway as a motorway as of September 2017).

Shannon Town can still be accessed from the N18 by use of the remaining portions of this road (connecting only as a slip road from the Limerick direction), as well as a new local link road from a new interchange at Hurler's Cross. The N19 no longer serves Shannon Town for most purposes, apart from the industrial estate.
