The R492 is a regional road in County Offaly linking Shinrone to the N62 at Sharavogue between Roscrea and Birr.[1] The road is approximately 6 km (3.7 mi) long.
The road traverses two bridges listed as being of architectural and technical interest. The first is Sharavogue Bridge which carries the road over the Little Brosna River and the second, a single arched bridge over the now disused Roscrea and Parsonstown Railway line.[2][3]
