A severe blaze on Delaware Memorial Bridge has destroyed a truck carrying marijuana-laced candy and caused heavy traffic.

Smoke could be seen billowing from the front window of the Weed World Candies truck in a video posted online by Vishal Suvagiya.

The truck was travelling on the northbound lane across the bridge, from Washington DC to Philadelphia.

Several lanes were closed as emergency services responded, blocking traffic.

No injuries were reported, but Weed World Candies' owner told NBC 10 US$50,000 of merchandise was destroyed in the blaze.

The truck was completely engulfed and only charred framework remained after the fire was extinguished.
