QEW in Mississauga reopens after truck crashes into bridge

The QEW in Mississauga has reopened after an early morning crash shut the roadway down for several hours.

The closure first began around 8 a.m. Tuesday after a dump truck collided with an overhead pedestrian bridge near North Service Road and Cawthra Road.

No one was injured.

By noon, police had announced that the road had reopened — two hours earlier than a previous estimate of 2 p.m.

For several hours, cars were circumnavigating the crash. Toronto-bound traffic was sent through Cawthra Road and Fort Erie-bound traffic was sent through Dixie Road.

This story is developing. Check back for more.

Update #4: The #QEW between Cawthra and Dixie is now open in both directions. ^nm
