The evening commute could be a little more complicated for people travelling in Guelph. The Ontario Provincial Police said they learned of a tanker spill along the Hanlon Parkway around 2:30 p.m. Monday. All southbound lanes of the Hanlon Parkway from College Ave West to Downey Road/Kortright Road West were closed out of an abundance of caution. The closure was expected to last several hours. “Public can expect a consistent police presence, and the public is asked to use alternate routes,” a post on X said. Police did not immediately say what the tanker was hauling, but confirmed it was believed to be a liquid that could be “possibly flammable.” The Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Environment have been contacted. No one was hurt.
