Cork council engineers to raise traffic gridlock issues on eastern approach to Jack Lynch Tunnel

Motorists from east Cork say they are queuing even longer than ever during rush hours due to increasing tailbacks

Approaches to the Jack Lynch Tunnel/Dunkettle Interchange are becoming a nightmare bottleneck for motorists commuting from east Cork.

Cork County Council engineers are to raise the issue of increased traffic gridlock on the eastern approaches to the Jack Lynch Tunnel/Dunkettle Interchange with the project team in charge of its multi-million euro upgrade.

Councillors representing the east Cork region have highlighted increasing tailbacks facing their constituents during rush-hours claiming they are queuing even longer than ever.
