On Wednesday night, the Thorold Tunnel was scheduled to close, however the Ministry of Transportation told Thorold News on Thursday night that the work had been postponed.

Drivers have been expressing their frustration over the heavily trafficked tunnel, accomodating around 24,000 vehicles daily.

It has been shut down due to weather, serious motor vehicle incidents, and MPP's have been calling for the Ministry of Transportation to act on the tunnel, that has been under construction since 2018.
