Drivers heading south out of Guelph on the Hanlon Parkway will need to have an alternate route in place – as the O.P.P. warn of a partial closure now in place on that highway due to a tanker spill.
It was just after 3 p.m. on Tuesday when Guelph Police shared news of that spill on the Hanlon Expressway, closing southbound lanes from College Avenue through to Downey Road or Kortwright Road West.
That closure has since been extended to cover southbound traffic between Speedvale Avenue West and Downey Road.
Ontario Provincial Police have since confirmed that no injuries have been reported, though the closure of southbound lanes on the Hanlon Parkway will likely be in place for “the next several hours.” A release from provincial police notes that the closure has been put in place “out of an abundance of caution” due to concerns the liquid spill from the tanker could be flammable.
Police have also contacted the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Environment in connection with this crash.
You can stay with FM 985 for the latest updates.
