The Toronto-bound lanes of the Skyway Bridge will reopen tonight between 6 and 8 p.m.

In a conference call this afternoon, Ministry of Transportation spokesperson Astrid Poei said the site has been cleared of debris, and temporary repairs have been made to the steel and pavement.

Crews worked all weekend to remove the scaffolding and damaged steel as well as the four vehicles on site. Workers started laying down new asphalt this morning.

More permanent repairs are still needed, including a new steel beam. The timeline for that work is about two months.

There is no cost estimate on repairs but Poei said it could be in the millions.

It will be up to the courts to determine who is at fault, and that party or parties would be liable for costs.

The critical four-lane span closed Thursday after a dump truck with a raised box crashed into an overhead truss and construction scaffolding.

According to Peter Verok, regional director of the central region MTO, the bucket of the dump truck that hit the bridge did not raise until the truck was climbing the bridge. There are censors in place a kilometre down the street and none was activated.

Sukhvinder Singh Rai, 34, of Brampton faces impaired driving charges and an Aug. 22 court date.

However, OPP investigators said late last week that bridge safety concerns prevented an examination of the dump truck for mechanical problems.
