A dramatic blaze has engulfed a public bus on the West Gate Bridge, causing traffic chaos and closing all outbound lanes.
The fire broke out on the major thoroughfare just before 6pm on Monday. A spokeswoman for Victoria Police confirmed the fire was not being treated as suspicious and no one was injured in the blaze.
A spokeswoman for Fire Rescue Victoria said the fire was first reported at 5.45pm, and when five crews of firefighters arrived eight minutes later, it was “fully alight”.
