Severe delays are expected this morning leading onto the north quays following a serious collision.

The collision happened on Guild Street at North Wall Quay and emergency services are expected to block off the scene.

The Dublin City Council traffic management centre is urging commuters to expect delays and avoid the area completely if possible.

They said: "North Wall Quay/Guild Street: Collision blocking all traffic from Guild Street and left hand lane on North Wall Quay Eastbound. Expect delays and avoid area where possible."

While LiveDrive added: "Incident at the junction of Guild St and Northwall Quay blocking Guild St in both directions and partially blocking outbound traffic on Custom House Quay/Northwall Quay, traffic has to enter the inbound lane to pass."

Elsewhere on the quays there are delays around the roads leading to and from College Green.

AA Roadwatch says: "Quite congested from Burgh Quay onto D'Olier St and then around College St. This is backing up traffic on Fleet St too."
