Drivers face chaos as wall collapse closes road

MOTORISTS could be facing weeks of traffic chaos after the partial collapse of one of the country’s busiest roads.

Engineers from Cork City Council will this morning begin assessing the damage to the Lower Glanmire Road after a 40-metre section collapsed into the River Lee yesterday morning.

The quay wall at Woodhill gave way at about 10.30am sending huge mounds of earth and boulders cascading into the river.
