Traffic Chaos on the M50: Major Delays for Dublin Motorists
Dublin Live, in collaboration with Dublin City FM, is here to provide you with the latest updates on the chaotic traffic situation unfolding on the M50. Northbound drivers are facing significant delays of up to 40 minutes between Junction 12 Firhouse and Junction 7 Lucan. Meanwhile, southbound traffic is moving at a snail’s pace, with delays of 25 minutes from Junction 3 M1 to Junction 7 Lucan, and an additional 30 minutes from Junction 16 Cherrywood to join the M11.
The evening commute has been further complicated by an earlier crash on the N11 southbound, which has since been cleared at Junction 13 Newtownmountkennedy, allowing traffic to flow smoothly in the area. As the rush hour congestion intensifies, we are dedicated to keeping you informed with real-time updates on our live blog below.
Bus Breakdown in Cherrywood
Adding to the traffic woes, a bus has broken down on the R118 Wyatville Link Road, obstructing the right lane after the M50 interchange. Motorists are advised to exercise caution while navigating through this area to avoid any potential gridlock or accidents. The unexpected breakdown serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of commuting in a bustling city like Dublin.
Irish Rail Service Updates
In addition to the road chaos, Irish Rail has announced service changes affecting Connolly to Sligo and Sligo to Connolly routes. The 16:02 train from Connolly to Sligo will terminate in Boyle, with passengers transferred to a bus for the remainder of the journey to Sligo. Conversely, the 17:35 train from Sligo to Connolly will involve a bus transfer from Sligo to Boyle, followed by a train journey from Boyle to Connolly. These alterations underscore the importance of flexibility and adaptability when relying on public transportation.
As Dubliners navigate through the maze of traffic delays and unexpected incidents, it is crucial to stay informed and exercise patience on the roads. Remember to prioritize safety and consider alternative routes or modes of transport to reach your destination efficiently. Stay tuned for further updates as we monitor the evolving traffic situation across the city.
