Eastbound highway lanes in Mississauga were shut down on Friday afternoon after a dump truck struck a bridge, wedging part of it underneath.
Just before midday, Ontario Provincial Police announced lane reductions on Highway 403 in Mississauga after the incident.
The force said that one right-hand lane was closed “due to a dump truck that has struck the overpass.”

They said the issue came because of a “dump truck travelling with its box raised struck the overpass.”
Shortly after, officers decided to close all eastbound lanes between Mavis Road and Hurontario Street.
“A bridge inspector is en route to assess the integrity of the bridge,” police wrote on social media.

Tax dollars hard at work fixing our infrastructure that our new Canadians are damaging. Hopefully the government cheques still make it to them. Maybe they’ll donate their free canadian money back for repairs.
Again???
Surely there should be a sensor on dump trucks that prevents them from moving at anything but a crawl with the box up. It wouldn’t be expensive, just a simple limit switch.
And everybody, no more racist comments please.
Another one for Fail Army.
Hard to believe Jagmeet left the box up? Hopefully the other million the Liberals let in every year are much smarter.
At this point, our government should be held liable!
Flip flops ?
These people need to be financially responsible for their actions! As a tax payer I do not approve using our taxes to pay for someone’s lack of intelligence!
They don’t care. They have this attitude and sense of entitlement like the rules of this country don’t apply to them because they’re ‘special’.
The Province has failed to monitor these large dump trucks and their drivers.
This is so fcuked! Dummyville
Who was driving, and how bad was the smell?
It’s mental how this keeps happening… I mean, even if you’re one of them, you HAVE to know what the screaming lights on your dash are trying to tell you.
Let me guess. Another illegally licensed Indian driver
At this point so many indians are damaging overpasses, Im starting to think theyre being sent here to take out critical infrastructure on purpose
