road blocks

today it took me 1hr25 mins to travel 30kms the worst traffic jams ive seen for years due to 1 lane of the dual carriage way being closed due to a police road block, all cars were being stopped and all exits blocked ,stingers were in  place in case anybody thought they could slip through, considering this is the only road besides the motorway which you have to pay 4.80euros to use you can imagine that tempers were a bit on the steamy side with the sun allready beating down on overheating cars ,and bar owners wondering where the customers were, 7am is the busiest time for the bars and cafes who at the moment are strugling to make ends meet, im none the wiser what was going on as most police operations are kept pretty quiet .ive now found another route for the mornings,and hope this gets me in on time .
