A collision has shut down a portion of the 401 this afternoon.
Shortly before 1:00pm police to reports that a truck had collided with a bridge in the westbound express lanes at the 400.
When they arrived on scene, crews discovered a dump truck had left its box up, and had become wedged under the bridge.
All westbound express lanes remain closed at this hour. Cleanup continues, but police say they are unsure when the highway will reopen.
The westbound collector lanes are open, but traffic is backed up as far as Bayview. In town routes are also heavier than usual. The 407 is currently the best alternate.
