Widespread Traffic Disruptions Expected in Helsinki, Belfast, Weymouth May 17–19

Several major travel disruptions are expected across different regions in the coming weeks due to various events and maintenance work. In Helsinki, large-scale running events throughout May and June, including the Helsinki City Running Day on May 17, will cause traffic disruptions in central areas such as Töölö and Mannerheimintie. Belfast city center will also face significant traffic delays on May 17 due to planned parades and protests, with police managing traffic and encouraging alternative routes. In Dorset, UK, ongoing roadworks and reinstalled traffic signals at Monkton Hill are causing gridlock and long delays, especially with increased tourist traffic expected during the weekend. In the United States, Memorial Day weekend travel is projected to break records with 45.1 million Americans traveling, but passengers flying into New York airports are advised to consider alternatives due to ongoing delays and ground stops. Additionally, train services between Bray and Rosslare Europort in Ireland will be suspended for track maintenance on May 24-25, with bus replacements provided, urging travelers to plan accordingly.
