Route
The route diverges from the N15 (from Sligo) at Stranorlar. The route north through Kilross includes a T Junction with the R236 and then runs via Drumnacross to the Dry Arch Bridge located east of Letterkenny with a roundabout. The N14 runs along the Port Road to Letterkenny town centre. A section of dual carriageway runs east to bring the N13 (and traffic from the N14) to Corkey, where the N14 recommences southeastwards linking Lifford from the roundabout with the N13. The N13 continues near Lough Swilly passing Manorcunningham northeast as single carriageway, passing along a bypass of Newtowncunningham and passing through Speenoge. The route turns east (with the R239 linking Buncrana) southeast at Bridge End to end at the border with Northern Ireland becoming the A2 road northwest of Derry and linking the city centre, and over Craigavon Bridge to Londonderry railway station in the Waterside.
As originally designated, the N13 continued along the present N14 into Letterkenny, the section from Stranorlar to Letterkenny being part of the N56.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
