The QEW has now reopened in both directions on Tuesday after a dump truck crashed into a pedestrian bridge overpass that was under construction, Ontario Provincial Police said.
The highway, which was shut down between Cawthra Road and Dixie Road, reopened to motorists at around noon, the OPP said.
The collision first happened at around 7:55 a.m. on Tuesday. Police had initially said they were expecting the highway closure to last until at least 2 p.m. and it reopened two hours earlier.
Police told Global News the dump truck had its bin up when the truck crashed into a pedestrian bridge that was under construction.
No injuries were reported.
Peel Regional Police told Global News on Monday the driver of the dump truck has been charged with careless driving.
