Overview

• A crane truck toppled in the eastbound tunnel near Bexley North at about 11:30am, damaging the vehicle and tunnel walls.
• Authorities have shut the entire 4-kilometre M5 East tunnel, including March Street westbound and Kingsgrove Road city-bound on-ramps.
• Emergency services and traffic crews are on site, and the male driver in his 20s was taken to St George Hospital in stable condition.
• Transport for NSW recommends a D5 detour via King Georges Road, Stoney Creek Road, Forest Road, Wickham Street, West Botany Street and Marsh Street to the M5 motorway.
• Motorists are urged to avoid the M5 East corridor and follow the marked detour as crane removal and debris clearance continue into the evening.
