I commute to work by bus from Rathmines each morning, and I have noticed a change in the traffic pattern.

In the past, the traffic normally flowed more freely after the notorious bottleneck junction of Rathgar and Upper Rathmines Roads, and usually the delays down at the bridge, between the canal and the Bleeding Horse were quite minor.

Now however, the traffic is noticeably slower between the canal and the Bleeding Horse than in the past.

Does anyone know why this might have happened?
