A truck carrying concrete has overturned on a busy Chester roundabout.
There is heavy traffic on the A51 at its junction with the A55 on Friday (July 28)
The lorry's load has been strewn on to the road heading into the city.
Emergency services were first alerted at about 2pm.
Congestion has built up on the A51 through Littleton and back towards Tarvin.
Cheshire Police have urged motorists to find another route if possible.
The A55 junction 40 is closed in both directions meaning many drivers will be forced to find a different way home
Pictures show the concrete has poured out from the roof blocking the A51 route into Chester, which remains closed.
Problems could persist through the afternoon and into the evening as the HGV and the debris will have to be recovered.
