Highway 401 has reopened near Brockville after two consecutive nights of detours for a bridge demolition.
Crews removed the overpass on Hallecks Road, forcing traffic through downtown Brockville, Ont. for 12 hours Friday night into Saturday morning and again Saturday night into Sunday morning.
"This has been at least two years in the making," Elizabethtown-Kitley Township Mayor Brant Burrow said last week. "I'm sure for the MTO, it's been longer than that.""This is one of the original bridges on the 401, or what was then the Trans-Canada Highway construction," he noted. "It's time. There's no way you can rehabilitate this, so they've got to widen the bridge and now is the time to do it.
