    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.
    I presume this figure is a daily drop

    Yes, they are presumably talking about the AADT, which according to this (page 11) was 98000 vehicles in 2004, so it's probably 80000 now (assuming 120,000 at the start of the road works in 2006).

    I would take it with a lot of salt. NTR are apparently refusing to give the figures to Dublin City Council.

    For all we know its 40,000 fewer per week or per month.
