Long delays are expected for traffic heading towards Monmouth and the Midlands following an accident on the A449.
The road has been closed as a lorry carrying batteries and battery acid shed its load between the Raglan intersection and Monmouth at 0200 GMT.
Gwent Police said the road will be closed northbound for eight hours from the M4's Coldra roundabout to Monmouth.
This is to allow the clean-up operation on the road which becomes the A40.
Police said have closed the road from the Coldra because they are concerned about the high volume of traffic trying to negotiate country lanes.
