A LORRY carrying 350 litres of diesel has shed its load, causing the closure of the A34 Southbound between the Milton Interchange and A4185.
It is thought that 50 litres of fuel spilt on the carriageway at about 2.20pm today.
The Highways Agency said drivers were being diverted via the A4130 and the A4185 and this is causing delays of 50 minutes for drivers.
The tanker is being recovered and granules are being laid on the road to mop up the spill, once they have been cleared away a decision will be taken about whether the road will need to be resurfaced.
