A disaster for people on the way to work.
The Dublin Port Tunnel is closed this morning after a car caught fire while it was driving through the tunnel.
The Gardaí gave this update a short time ago.

The tunnel is closed in both directions during rush hour traffic so that means a lot of people are currently sitting in their cars and not going anywhere fast.
These people have revealed the extent of the backlog.
