 North Strand Road is a continuation of Amiens Street, which runs northeast from the junction of Portland Row and Seville Place.It crosses the Royal Canal on the Newcomen Bridge, and proceeds to the junction of East Wall Road and Poplar Row via the Annesley Bridge over the River Tolka; at this point it continues as Annesley Bridge Road.As late as 1673, what is now North Strand Road was under the waters of the River Liffey mouth in Dublin Bay.
