Motorists face delay on M50

Motorists on Dublin’s M50 face disruption tonight as upgrading works continue on the motorway.

Contractors have warned that from 9am tonight, lane closures will be in place on the N7 outbound, M50 northbound and the Ballymount Interchange until 9am on Sunday.

From 9am on Sunday, the existing M50 northbound off ramp to the N7 Interchange will be closed and city and Naas-bound traffic will be directed onto a temporary free flow loop.

Works will also result in the Ballymount Interchange reopening with all signals and right turns restored.

Motorists are advised to drive carefully and heed the temporary diversion signs in place.
