A truck carrying specialist tunnel-boring equipment the Shell refinery project at Bellanaboy is blocking the the Glenamoy crossroads in Co Mayo.
The truck got into difficulty while navigating a turn on the narrow roads.
It is understood the lorry was transporting loads of up to 150 tonnes.
Although the intersection remains blocked, a council official says cars can still get past the obstruction.
However, he acknowledged it was a struggle.
Mayo County Council has confirmed in the past few minutes that efforts to winch the vehicle from its current location were unsuccessful.
