Motorists are advised to avoid Route 309 northbound at Welsh Road this morning due to an overturned tractor-trailer that has resulted in a significant fuel spill and scattered cargo across the roadway, according to a report.
A tractor-trailer spilled diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid on the road around 5:35 a.m. Monday, according to reports.
Emergency crews are on scene working to secure the area, contain the spilled fuel, and clear the roadway as quickly and safely as possible. Officials warn that all northbound lanes are currently closed, and traffic delays are expected to be significant in the surrounding area.
The incident occurred near 1470 Bethlehem Pike, North Wales, PA 19454, and drivers traveling through Montgomery County should plan an alternate route for their morning commute. Police and fire crews are coordinating the cleanup to minimize environmental hazards and ensure public safety.
Authorities urge drivers to exercise caution, follow posted detours, and allow extra travel time if travel through the area is unavoidable. Updates on the reopening of the roadway will be provided as they become available.
