A burning tow truck has closed a major motorway tunnel through Sydney’s south-west during the afternoon peak, threatening commuter chaos for drivers.
The truck fire just after 4pm closed the M8 tunnel in both directions between Rozelle and Kingsgrove on Thursday.
By 5pm the northbound lanes had reopened, but the tunnel remained closed southbound between St Peters and Kingsgrove.
Drivers are advised to seek an alternative route and allow extra travel time with heavy traffic conditions expected.
