The incident caused two out of three lanes for departing buses and lorries leading to Tuas Checkpoint to be closed, ICA said, as it advised commuters to expect traffic build up and delays.

Meanwhile, commuters affected by the delays posted photos of the badly burnt lorry, as well as the traffic build-up.
One Facebook user named Kelvin Tan commented on the ICA update, saying that he had been "stuck" 1.7km away from the Checkpoint for at least an hour.
In another update at 7pm, ICA said that traffic towards the Checkpoint continued to be heavy.
However, only one lane remained closed "due to debris from the earlier fire incident", it said.
