Kent Bridge Rd. is closed at the Thames River today following an incident involving a transport truck Thursday night.

The transport truck spilled hundreds of litres of diesel all over the roadway last night when a faulty driveshaft came loose and punched a hole in the fuel tank.

The roadway needs to be repaired, the bridge needs to be inspected and to do so, the road will be closed between Longwoods Rd. and Fairview Line until further notice.
