Multi-Vehicle Collision Causes Delays on N40 Westbound

Motorists are experiencing delays on the N40 westbound this morning following a multi-vehicle collision between the Ringaskiddy and Douglas junctions.

The incident, reported at 07:30 today, occurred on the westbound carriageway between Junction 9 (N28 Ringaskiddy) and Junction 8 (Douglas). Lane 2 remains affected by the collision.

Drivers approaching the area are advised to reduce speed and exercise caution. Minor delays are expected as traffic navigates around the affected lane.

The N40, Cork's busiest route for commuters heading into the city centre from the southern suburbs, typically sees heavy traffic during morning rush hour. Those travelling from Douglas, Carrigaline, and Ringaskiddy towards the city may wish to allow extra time for their journeys or consider alternative routes where possible.

Motorists should stay alert for emergency services attending the scene and follow any traffic management measures in place.
