The National Works Agency, NWA, is advising motorists that the Fern Gully main road in St. Ann which links the communities of Colgate and Hopewell, is closed to all vehicular traffic.
The NWA says the roadway will remain closed for the next 48 hours.
This after a bus caught fire on the roadway this afternoon, spilling several gallons of oil.
The bus was destroyed in the fire.
The Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw, says the NWA is mobilizing a work crew to respond to the incident.
Mr Shaw says given the scope of works to be done, including mopping up the oil and washing the roadway, the thoroughfare will not be reopened until Friday.
