A number of diversion routes have been put in place following a lorry fire on the M5 this afternoon (Monday, April 25).
The fire has meant that congestion has been building, specifically around junctions 20 and 21 northbound of the motorway, with the entry slip road and multiple lanes closed off. Traffic has been diverted along the A370 through Congresbury, however this route has also seen lengthy queues as traffic diverts.
Highways England said in an update at 4.30pm: "Lane 3 (of 4) has also reopened past the scene of the HGV fire on the M5 north between J20 Clevedon & J19 Bristol lanes 1 & 2 remain closed. There is currently approx 8.8 miles of congestion on approach adding at least 60 minutes to normal journey times.
