Busy George Borg Olivier Street in St Julian's was closed for traffic late on Wednesday afternoon because of an oil spill.

The police urged motorists to avoid the seaside road and seek alternative routes.

A motorist told Times of Malta it took her an hour to drive from Baħar ic-Ċagħaq to Sliema because of the long tailback.

The road was still closed at 8.30pm
