The M4 in Wiltshire is currently closed in both directions due to a major lorry fire.
National Highways say traffic is being held both ways between Junction 17 (Chippenham) and Junction 18 (Bath) due to the incident on the eastbound carriageway.
Firefighters from Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service are responding to the incident, which began at around 12:30pm this afternoon.
Disruption is likely to continue into rush hour as the road may need to be resurfaced.
In a statement, a spokesperson for National Highways said: “Traffic is currently being held on the M4 in both directions near Chippenham between J18 and J17 due to a HGV fire.”
