"So, it's an improved situation there. A lot of surface water as well, and that is improving as well as the rain has cleared. "Areas such as the southeast, where there was significant flooding also, the impacts will be felt there for longer. The section of northbound road between Junction 16 Cherrywood and Junction 12 Firhouse had been closed due to flooding caused by Storm Chandra. Mr O'Neill said that crews will remain on site throughout the day in the event of a reoccurrence of issues relating to flooding.
