Over 40,000 fewer cars are using the Westlink Toll Bridge on the M50 since the start of roadworks and the opening of the Port Tunnel.

At the start of the year the number of cars was down by 7%, while the number of trucks increased by 21% on 2006 levels.

Transport official Brendan O'Brien said the reduction in cars may be due to greater congestion.
