Motorists will still be able to pass on the right lane but delays appear inevitable when morning traffic approaches peak levels and if you usually take the M50 on the way to work, it might be worth pursuing an alternative route this morning.
M50: The left lane is closed at J5 Finglas Northbound due to the earlier incident.
