The M1 has closed just in time for peak-hour traffic southbound on the Hawkesbury River Bridge.
There are reports of a man in his 20s trapped in a multi-vehicle accident. Transport for NSW says motorists are being advised to avoid the area and use the Pacific Highway instead.
It comes just days after a major metal spill shredded the tyres of hundreds of motorists.

Newcastle fire crews are currently investigating a car fire which occurred near Merewether Golf Club last night.
The owner of the vehicle was able to locate it via GPS tracking, on King Street at Adamstown.
There's concern over a Moisture Density Meter which is reportedly inside the vehicle, which could have a radioactive source.
Hazardous materials experts have set up a safety zone around the area, and are seeking to find out if the meter is there, and if it has been breached.
Crews have assured the area is stable.
