My wife and I drive over that bridge almost daily and its a cluster-fuck during normal days. I can only imagine how bad traffic is going to be now. They are reporting that it may be closed for several days or longer until they can assess the damage and make repairs.
You can barely see it in the pics, but all the wood is from a huge scaffold thats covering the bridge trusses. During the day, the scaffold is full of iron workers doing maintenance. Im sure some of those dudes shit a chicken when the truck hit and I real surprised none of them got hurt.

Ive noticed some of those traffic cams are deceiving. I used to check 401 before heading out somewhere and it looked ok from the traffic cams...but you know it wasnt and sure enough you get on the thing and its a parking lot. wtf kind of sorcery is this

Everything is fucked down there, both southbound and northbound lanes are jammed, I wouldn't go anywhere near Niagara this weekend.
A contractor I work with in Hamilton couldn't even get out of the city this morning

I ended up taking Victoria/20/65/6/403/52. Nice drive and only took me 10 minutes longer than normal. I'd actually take this route up over the hwy regularly.
BTW Mike, is your subdivision near the skate park? About 2 minutes away on the other side of the big park. Id move if they built that near me.
