There are still long delays on the M1 - Anne Marie Donnellan from AA Roadwatch says delays have backed up from the Port Tunnel crash onto the M1 back to junction four Donabate.
She said: "It is taking roughly about an hour to travel from junction four down to the M1 interchange.
"The traffic there is completely blocked, you can't access the Swords Road or the Port Tunnel so you have to travel via Coolock Lane if you're going towards the city or onto the N50 southbound."
Nine units of Dublin Fire Brigade are the scene of a crash at the Port Tunnel.
The collision at the entrance to the southbound bore has led to serious delays.
It is not yet known if anyone has been seriously injured.
AA Roadwatch says the Swords Road from the M50 is fully blocked and delays are back to before Dublin Airport.
