A serious truck fire has closed all citybound lanes on the M1 Pacific Motorway, causing an eight-kilometre traffic jam.
The truck burst into flames near Jolls Bridge between the Central Coast and Sydney.
Emergency services are on the site and are working to extinguish the fire.
All southbound lanes are blocked and motorists are being diverted off the M1 at Mt White onto the Pacific Highway however there are lengthy delays.
"Motorists are already queued well over five kilometres approaching the diversion point," Transport Management Centre spokesman David Wright said.
He said southbound motorists are advised to delay their travel or stay away.
Northbound lanes on the M1 Pacific Motorway remain open.
More to come.
