Roads chief sorry for Cork Jack Lynch tunnel chaos
CEO Michael Nolan said a full review of tunnel procedures and protocols has been ordered after the serious under-performance of the tunnel contractor on December 3. And he said a series of short and long-term recommendations will be implemented to ensure such chaos does not happen again.
He made his comments in a damning report to Cork City Council last night after council chief executive Ann Doherty expressed serious concerns following the unprecedented city-wide traffic chaos. Traffic was gridlocked for hours after one northbound lane of the N40 on the approach to the tunnel was closed due to flooding in the left lane.
