The Belfast Telegraph understands that the tailback at one stage was around six miles long, spanning to the outskirts of Moira.
Roads in and around Lisburn have also been affected as motorists seek an alternative route.
A police spokesperson said: 'One Belfast-bound lane of the M1 has re-opened following an earlier collision.
'Tailbacks and delays should be expected in the area.'
In a post, TrafficWatch NI wrote: 'M1 East bound: Update - Both lanes have now reopened following an earlier road traffic collision. However, expect knock on delays.'
