The Transport Management Centre is making preparations to remove a truck which has crashed down an embankment at Karuah.
Newcastle Fire Command says a B-Double loaded with mixed goods crashed off the southbound lanes of Pacific Highway approaching the Karuah Bridge just after 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning.
The driver managed to escape unharmed, however the truck is almost vertical down the embankment and will require a 100 tonne crane to remove it.
It's expected the southbound lanes of the highway will be closed for several hours later on Tuesday morning so the salvage operation can get under way, with a contra flow to be set up.
