Motorists travelling in both directions are being diverted via Bundarra Road and Thunderbolts Way before rejoining the highway.
This diversion adds about 40 minutes to journeys, so motorists are advised to allow additional travel time.
Emergency services and traffic crews are on site working on the clean up, however the highway is expected to be closed for some time.
Light vehicles needing to travel to the airport are advised to use Bundarra Road, Miller Street, Galloway Street, Perrott Street, Kellys Plains Road, Platform Road and then the highway again.
