The southbound lanes of the Hanlon Expressway near Highway 401 could be closed for another three days as crews continue to clean up Sunday’s jet fuel spill.
OPP said the tanker rolled over shortly before 2 a.m. after colliding with another vehicle in the eastbound lanes of Highway 401.
Some of the 50,000 litres of fuel from the overturned truck leaked into nearby creeks under the highway.
The Ministry of Transportation said work is expected to wrap up some time on Friday.
