LONDON: Traffic in Dublin has returned to normal after the port tunnel closed in both directions for a time on Tuesday. The tunnel closed just before 6pm, as commuters attempted to make their way home during the warmest day of the year so far.
Emergency services were called to remove a heavy goods vehicle which broke down inside the tunnel. Six units of Dublin Fire Brigade dealt with the incident. There were heavy delays on both sides of the tunnel. Motorists were advised to avoid the area and use other routes. Gardaí say no further delays are expected.
