Motorists faced nine hours of delays on the Cunningham Highway at Amberley on Saturday after a truck rolled and spilt its load of boxed frozen chickens.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads said authorities had cleared the poultry spill by 3.11pm - nine hours after the rollover.

A police spokesman said the highway was reopened with traffic cleared and flowing in both directions.

Police will not be investigating the incident any further.

No one was injured.
