Section of Charles Street West reopens to traffic after crash

After weeks of repairs, a stretch of Charles Street West in downtown Kitchener has reopened to traffic.

After weeks of repairs, a stretch of Charles Street West in downtown Kitchener has reopened to traffic.

The road was closed on May 31 after a garbage truck with its boom raised drove into the overpass of the former Manulife building, damaging the overhead walkway and causing debris to fall down onto the road.

Police say no one was hurt in the crash and an engineer determined there was no structural damage to the walkway.

Two weeks later, traffic is finally flowing normally on Charles Street again.

ION trains continued to run and pedestrians were permitted to walk on the sidewalk during the closure.

CTV News has not confirmed exactly when the road fully reopened, although a few people in the area Thursday morning say they believe it happened the day before.
