Truck blaze closes Dublin Port Tunnel

The Dublin Port Tunnel has been temporarily closed to all traffic after a truck caught fire in the facility this afternoon.

The HGV ban in the city centre was lifted shortly after the closure, which happened at around 12.30pm.

The emergency services are at the scene, but no injuries have been reported.

The tunnel was not expected to remain closed for long, but motorists are being warned to expect delays in the city due to lifting of the HGV ban.
