The Ministry of Transportation says the westbound Highway 401 between Chatham and Tilbury is open again after a collision on the highway near Merlin Road.
Westbound traffic was being diverted off the highway at Bloomfield Road in Chatham for a couple of hours Friday morning, but the MTO sent out a notice just before 10 a.m. saying that all of the lanes were open again.
No word yet on whether any charges will be laid in connection with the collision that prompted the closure or whether any injuries were reported.
