Investigators say a trailer being pulled by a truck was knocked over at the Burlington Skyway.

No one was injured in the incident and some lanes remain open.

However, police say the Eastport lift bridge is not available as an alternative.

Environment Canada issued a weather statement Wednesday morning for Hamilton and Niagara Region with wind gusts up to 90 km/h expected in the afternoon.

“Motorists, especially in high profile vehicles, may expect hazardous driving conditions on highways subject to strong cross winds,” Canada’s weather agency said in the release.

At the peak of the weather event, the Hamilton airport reported gusts up to 93 km/h in the late afternoon.
