Lane closures on highway in Hamilton

The afternoon rush hour in Hamilton and Burlington was complicated on Thursday by lane closures, which were caused by a collision.
Real-time Ontario Ministry of Transportation data shows that the two leftmost lanes on the Fort Erie-bound Queen Elizabeth Way highway are closed at Nikola Tesla Boulevard. A third lane was closed a few minutes later.
Typically, the length of a closure is dependent on a number of variables, such as the number of vehicles involved and injuries to any drivers or passengers.
Update: all lanes reopened around 5:30 p.m., after about 80 minutes.
