The truck turned down Countess Street heading into the CBD and stopped just before the rail bridge when the driver realised he could not pass underneath the bridge.
Queensland Police said initial reports were the truck had become wedged under the bridge but the truck had managed to stop just beforehand.
Police asked commuters to avoid the area if possible as traffic delays were expected as they worked to reverse the truck back up the street to leave the area.
Queensland Traffic said traffic was stopped on Countess Street and Secombe Street, while delays continued to build along Kelvin Grove Road, Petrie Terrace and the off-ramp from the Inner City Bypass.
The truck successfully reversed free of the road by 8.45am and QLDTraffic said delays were expected to ease quickly.
