Drivers faced long delays after a lorry fire and a crash on the A9 north of Dunblane.
Emergency services were called to the blaze on the northbound carriageway at around 3.20pm on Friday.
The road was closed for anyone heading to Perthshire until late on Friday evening.
A separate collision also caused tailbacks on the southbound side but it has since been cleared.
Motorists have been facing delays of more than 30 minutes in the area.
Video shared on social media showed huge plumes of smoke coming from the vehicle.
