EMERGENCY services are at the scene of multiple crashes on the M180.
The incidents are on the eastbound carriageway near the Castlethorpe Bridge area near Brigg.
Both sides of the M180, however, are closed between junctions four and five.
A statement from Humberside Police said: "Police have closed the M180 at junction four and junction five in BOTH directions due to a number of collisions which have taken place.
