Firefighters have since extinguished the fire and the road has been cleared and reopened but motorists have been advised that long delays remain in the area.

There are also delays due to an overturned truck on a slip road off the N7, near the Red Cow.

The slip road between the N7 Eastbound and the M50 Southbound had been closed but the overturned lorry has since been removed and the road is now reopen. 

However, Live Drive is reporting that delays of 30 minutes remain from N7 J3 (Citywest) and that the Belgard Road is moving very slowly.
