Drivers are being advised to expect about 20-minute delays, with congestion forecast to ease around 1pm.

Overview

  • The blaze started just after 8am between junction 33 for Sheffield/Rotherham and junction 34 for Meadowhall during the morning rush.
  • Three of four northbound lanes are now open, with one lane still closed as recovery work continues.
  • National Highways has urged motorists to allow extra time after earlier closures caused long queues stretching back to the J32 M18 interchange.

  • Authorities have not released details on the cause or any injuries, and South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue has been contacted for further information.
