The Illawarra Highway is closed in both directions following a crash at Macquarie Pass on Sunday afternoon.
The truck crash occurred shortly after 2pm, between Mount Murray Road and Tongarra Lane.
Light vehicles can instead travel via Jamberoo Mountain Road, Jamberoo Road and Terry Street.
Motorists are advised to add about 10 minutes to their travel time.
Heavy vehicles should take the Hume Motorway, Picton Road and the Princes Motorway, which will add about 30 minutes of extra travel time.
Traffic in the vicinity of the crash is heavy.
