All eastbound lanes on Highway 403 between Mavis Road and Hurontario Street in Mississauga are closed to traffic after a dump truck struck an overpass on Friday morning, police say.

The one-vehicle crash initially shut down one lane of eastbound traffic, but Ontario Provincial Police said at around the noon hour they were closing all eastbound lanes for the investigation and cleanup.

“Motorists are being diverted off the highway at Mavis Road,” police said in an online update, adding a short time later a bridge inspector was en route to the scene “to assess the integrity of the bridge.”

Traffic was also slowing in westbound lanes as motorists checked out the site of the dump truck stuck under the overpass at Hurontario Street.
