1,000 trucks a day to clog Dublin streets because tunnel is too small, says study

DUBLIN traffic will be clogged with up to a 1,000 trucks a day despite the building of the €625 million Port Tunnel, a new study has revealed.

An independent investigation shows that 500 trucks won’t be able to use the tunnel because it’s too low, and this number will double in the next 10 years.

Some 5% of trucks going to the port won’t be able to use the costly bypass aimed at reducing the city’s chronic traffic snarls.
