National Highways said two lanes had to be closed temporarily due to the blaze on the northbound carriageway between junctions 32, for Doncaster, and 33, for Rotherham.
It said at around 1pm that all lanes had reopened but there were still around 5.2 miles of congestion on the approach, causing delays of around 30 minutes above usual journey times.
