Hydro crews completed their cleanup at the intersection of King Street West late Tuesday night in the wake of a series of underground explosions that shut the area down Monday afternoon.

Toronto police tweeted at 11:28 p.m. that King was "reopened in both directions."

Police, Toronto Hydro and the Toronto Fire Services were forced to shut the busy area down Monday after a series of loud bangs were heard emanating from below the street around 5 p.m..

An underground hydro vault exploded during the height of rush hour. The explosions sent heavy smoke billowing from grates outside the Royal Bank building near King and Yonge streets.
