They then need to take Westfield Dr onto the M80 to get back to the Calder Fwy.
Those heading to Melbourne Airport are urged to allow plenty of extra time due to the congestion.
It is unknown at this stage if anyone has been injured in the crash.
Debris is strewn across the four lanes, including what appears to be the tray of a ute that has separated from the vehicle and landed in the emergency lane.
