It’s the day many Chatham-Kent residents have been waiting for – the Highway 40 overpass at the 401 is now open. 
After seven months of construction, the barriers were removed late Wednesday afternoon, reopening the overpass as well as the on and off ramps to the highway below.
However, the work isn’t done quite yet.
The MTO says crews will be back out in the spring to finish up some asphalt work.
