Tom Clarke Bridge, Dublin.

Earlier…

This morning.

Truck drivers taking part in a protest in Dublin this morning are blocking both ends of the Tom Clarke Bridge, commonly known as the East Link.

Via RTE News:

Promenade Road at the Port Tunnel is also blocked, as is the roundabout at the 3Arena and the entrance to Dublin Port.

Gardaí are advising commuters to plan for potential traffic disruption due to the protest, but the main roads leading into the city seem to be moving well, with most of the disruption currently around the docklands area.

The protest is being organised by a group which calls itself ‘The People of Ireland Against Fuel Prices’.

As I crossed the newly named Thomas Clarke (nee East Link) bridge I noticed that someone had laid a wreath to Clarke’s memory. Not sure if it was part of the official ceremony.

More as we get it.

A truck has broken down at the East Link bridge [Dublin]  just where the north bound lanes merge after the toll. Long tail backs. People may want to take a different route.
