All lanes on the QEW leading to Toronto on the Burlington Skyway are closed after a truck hit the bridge’s scaffolding earlier today.

Police, fire and the Ministry of Transportation are all responding to the collision, according to the OPP. There are minor injuries. The province is in the process of investing in a $20 million construction project on the Skyway which is expected to be finished by fall of 2016.

Go Transit has tweeted from their official Twitter account that passengers should expect delays due to the crash.
