They said the issue came because of a “dump truck travelling with its box raised struck the overpass.”

Shortly after, officers decided to close all eastbound lanes between Mavis Road and Hurontario Street.

“A bridge inspector is en route to assess the integrity of the bridge,” police wrote on social media.
