The Southern Outlet is now clear at South Launceston after an earlier crash.
EARLIER:
Traffic is banked up on the Southern Outlet after a crash.
Police are at the scene where a concrete truck ended up sideways on the highway at South Launceston about 11.30am.
Both lanes heading into Launceston have been affected with heavy traffic between the Prospect and Glen Dhu turn-offs.
A witness said small cars were able to get around the truck but larger vehicles could not get through, which was causing heavy congestion.
There are no injuries reported at this stage.
Drivers should avoid the area where possible.
