Get ready for the latest traffic updates from Northern Ireland, where we'll navigate through the day's disruptions and detours!
Traffic Troubles in the North
Gareth Hanna reports that a house fire on Woodvale Road has led to its closure, causing significant delays in the area, including on Twaddell Avenue and Crumlin Road. Drivers are advised to find alternative routes.
But here's where it gets controversial... Courtney McGrail informs us that an overturned vehicle on the M3 on-slip has been cleared, but the incident has sparked a concrete spillage on Middlepath Street. Will this cause further delays?
Moving on to Lisburn, Governors Road has reopened after a collision earlier this morning. Mark Edwards provides an update, ensuring road users can now access the area.
General Traffic News and Detours
Mark Edwards shares some general traffic updates:
- Newtownabbey: A broken-down vehicle is blocking lane 2 of the A2 Shore Road, affecting Belfast-bound traffic.
- Belfast: A collision on the M3 on-slip from Middlepath Street has closed the road, with diversions in place via Newtownards Road and Sydenham Bypass.
- Lisburn: Delays are expected due to a collision on Governors Road/Laganbank Road. Allow extra time for your journey.
Additionally, traffic is heavy on the A12 Westlink approaching York Street and the M1 from J3 Blacks Road to J1 Broadway.
More Road Closures and Delays
Mark Edwards continues with more traffic news:
- Lisburn: Governors Road is closed in both directions due to a collision. Diversions are set up, so plan an alternative route.
- Co Londonderry: Racecourse Road in Shantallow is closed due to a fire. An alternative route is advised.
- Belfast: Sandy Row, between Hope Street and Wellwood Street, is closed due to a gas leak. The fire service is on the scene, and motorists are asked to avoid the area.
And this is the part most people miss... a broken-down van on the A12 Westlink is causing knock-on delays, affecting traffic between M1 citybound junction 7 and junction 1 Broadway.
Delays and Incidents
Gareth Hanna reports a crash on the Westlink, making lanes one and two impassable. The incident occurred past the Broadway on-slip heading towards York Street.
The Glenshane Road is closed northbound at Ardmore Road, with traffic being diverted at Tullyally.
On Sunday afternoon, an incident on the M1 off-slip at Blacks Road (westbound) caused heavy delays, stretching back to J2 at Stockmans Lane. Police were in attendance, and traffic has since returned to normal.
Fatal Crash and Road Reopening
Stephanie Finnegan shares an update on a tragic incident:
"This morning, the PSNI announced that the Ballyrobin Road in Templepatrick has reopened following a fatal crash."
Mark Edwards provides further details on a collision in north Belfast, advising road users to avoid the Upper Hightown Road, which is closed in both directions due to a road traffic incident. Diversions are in place at Crumlin Road and Hightown Road junctions.
Five-Car Crash in East Belfast
A PSNI spokesperson confirms that emergency services are at the scene of a five-vehicle crash on the A2 Belfast Road citybound at Tillysburn. The road is open, but delays are expected, and caution is advised for road users in the Knocknagoney area.
