OPP are projecting a noon-hour reopening of three westbound lanes along Highway 403 at Third Line following a Tuesday crash involving a tractor-trailer transporting chickens.

The vehicle rolled onto its side just after 5 a.m. on Tuesday leaving only the HOV lane accessible.

Investigators believe speed may have been a factor when the truck was “ramping on” from Third Line to the 403.

Police say part of the delay is the transferring of chickens to new trucks that have arrived on scene.
