A van fire has shut down traffic on the M8 Tunnel, impacting peak hour commuters travelling from the M4 and the Rozelle Interchange.

One of Sydney’s key arterial roads was brought to a standstill this morning after a van caught fire metres from a motorway entrance.

The van was just 200 metres from the St Peter’s M8 entrance when the fire began, triggering the sprinkler system which has succeeded in controlling the blaze, a Fire and Rescue NSW spokesman said. The Transport Management Centre said there is no access to the M8 to travel west from the M4 Tunnel, Rozelle Interchange, or Campbell Street.
