It has been a slow-go for GTA drivers on Thursday morning with three separate issues on Highway 401.
Provincial police were called to the eastbound lanes of the highway near Guelph Line in Burlington for a crash that occurred just before 5:30 a.m.
At one point, all lanes were closed. The left lane reopened around 6:30 a.m. but traffic was backed up for around 10 kilometres. The highway fully reopened around 7:30 a.m.
Police were also dealing with a vehicle fire on the westbound lanes at Lake Ridge Road in Ajax. Police were called to the area around 6 a.m. Two lanes were blocked but have since reopened.
But it has been once issue after another on that highway. Around 7:20 a.m. two eastbound lanes were blocked at Trafalgar Road in Milton due to a tractor-trailer fire.
