Dublin Traffic Disruptions: Multiple Collisions Cause Major Delays

Editorial

Traffic congestion in Dublin escalated on July 15, 2023, as multiple collisions compounded delays on the M50. The situation became critical as a collision occurred on the northbound side between Ballymun and the M1/M50 roundabout, blocking the hard shoulder and further impeding traffic flow.

As motorists navigated the busy roads, additional delays were reported throughout the M50. Northbound traffic was particularly congested from Dundrum all the way to Lucan. Southbound, delays stretched from the M1 onto the M50 towards Ballymun and persisted past Blanchardstown until reaching the M11.

Collision Updates and Traffic Impact

LiveDrive, a traffic reporting service, announced that the collision on the M50 northbound after Junction 4 had been cleared. However, subsequent incidents continued to affect travel times. A vehicle fire under a bridge prompted Irish Rail to suspend services between Tara St. and Connolly. Crews were dispatched to inspect the bridge and assess any potential damage.

In a further complication, another collision occurred on the M50 northbound after Junction 4, blocking lanes one and two. Even though the earlier collision on the M50 southbound at Blanchardstown had been cleared, residual delays lingered in the area.

On the N4, a collision eastbound at Liffey Valley also caused disruptions, although this incident has since been resolved.

As traffic conditions remain challenging, commuters are urged to remain vigilant and seek alternative routes when possible. LiveDrive continues to provide updates, and officials encourage anyone with traffic information to report it via email at [email protected].
