Were you caught in the traffic chaos in Cork last night?

Cork City was last night plunged into some of the worst traffic gridlock it has experienced in years after flooding forced the closure of one lane of the South Ring Rd.

Motorists reported journey times of up to two hours for trips that normally would have taken them less than half an hour.

With massive tailbacks being experienced by those driving eastwards towards the Jack Lynch Tunnel, many chose to turn towards the city at the Kinsale Road Roundabout which had the knock-on effect of causing traffic to build up from the South Link Rd into the city.
