Welcome to the Dublin Live traffic blog on this chilly Wednesday afternoon, November 22 2023, where we'll be bringing you the latest alongside LiveDrive on Dublin City FM.
At the moment there's multiple incidents across the capital causing issues. On the M50 right now there a vehicle stranded northbound near Lucan. Traffic can get by but there's 30 minute delays as far back as Dundrum.
There's also a collision on the Malahide Road near Fairview Park. As a result the road is blocked so use caution if you're in the area or heading there.
Then the traffic lights are out of action on James's Street and Bow Lane West at both Luas junctions. And a serious collision on the M7 at Newbridge from this morning has only just been cleared.
