Traffic is moving along the 401 through Chatham-Kent this morning after a transport fire last night.
Emergency crews were called to the westbound lanes just before the Highway 40 construction site shortly before 6 last night, battling thick, black smoke to douse the flames.
Traffic was being re-routed off at Kent Bridge Road overnight as crews worked to resurface the highway, but reopened around 8 o’clock.
Meantime the eastbound lanes have reopened following another crash near Tilbury.
Authorities say a tractor trailer lost control, jack-knifed, and hit the guardrail.
Traffic was detoured for several hours as crews removed the vehicle from the highway.
