The express lanes are closed on Highway 401 westbound at Brock Road as clean-up continues from an overnight transport truck fire.
OPP say the truck, which was filled with beef, collided with the concrete barrier separating the express from the collectors and burst into flames just after midnight. The driver was not injured.
Police say they expect the clean-up to take up most of the morning.
