Motorists are being urged to avoid Lane Cove Tunnel following a truck fire earlier this morning. Five Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews were called to the scene around 6.30 am, after reports a mobile crane truck was well alight.

The sprinkler system controlled the blaze, while firefighters extinguished the fire completely.

Heavy tow truck required

There were no reported injuries; however, a number of people evacuated their vehicles as a safety precaution. All east-bound lanes are closed and west-bound lanes are severely impacted.

A heavy tow truck will be required to remove the fire-damaged truck. It is anticipated traffic will be impacted for quite some time.
