A car is on fire on one of Cork City's busiest commuter routes this morning, with motorists warned to expect delays as a result.
A road closure is currently in place on the N40 on the slip road off Junction 3 in the eastbound direction near the Bandon Roundabout due to the vehicle on fire.
"All lanes affected," TII said. "Delays to your journey will occur. Consider a different journey start time or route.
"When approaching the hazard area drive with caution and reduce your speed."
Meanwhile, delays are also expected on the M28 on Friday morning as traffic starts to build up across the roads. The N27 is also seeing delays.
No road closures have been planned. However, on the M8, a road closure is in place between Junction 10, Cahir, and Junction 13, Mitchelstown to facilitate roadworks.
TII says all lanes are affected.
