The truck’s load tapped the underside of the 4.5-metre high bridge about 12.55pm.
As it came to an abrupt stop, another vehicle collided with the back of the truck, according to the Transport Management Centre.
The accident caused the closure of one of two southbound lanes on the M1 Princes Motorway, until about 1.20pm.
No one was injured in the collision and police regard the incident as relatively minor.
The roadway was cleared after the truck reversed off the motorway.
