Crashes, Roadworks Cause Major Traffic Delays Across UK Cities

Multiple traffic incidents and roadworks across the UK and Ireland are causing significant delays for drivers. A collision on the A167(M) Central Motorway in Newcastle has blocked part of the southbound carriageway, exacerbated by ongoing Tyne Bridge roadworks. Ipswich is experiencing major congestion due to lane closures on the Orwell Bridge for essential repairs, resulting in delays of up to 35 minutes and impacting local businesses and commuters. On the M80 at Junction Six, a collision has forced the closure of one lane, leading to slowing traffic and driver cautions. Additionally, a crash on the M18 northbound near Bawtry Road has brought traffic to a standstill, with emergency services responding. In Dublin, a breakdown on Prospect Road inbound near Whitworth Road is also causing disruption, with drivers urged to exercise caution in the busy area.
