Long delays after M2 vehicle fire

Motorists are being advised of long delays on the M2 northbound following an earlier vehicle fire in the Sandyknowes area.

The M2 motorway off-slip at Sandyknowes (junction four) was closed earlier this afternoon (Thursday) due to a vehicle on fire.

Providing an update, a Department for Infrastructure spokesperson said: “There are delays on the hill section of the M2 northbound at Bellevue back to Yorkgate Rail Halt.

"These are knock-on delays from an earlier car fire up at Junction 4 Sandyknowes that has now been cleared.”
