Traffic lights are back on after a dump truck hit a light Monday morning on Highway 1 at McKenzie Avenue.
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure says a dump truck hit a traffic light at the intersection at 8:30 a.m., which resulted in all traffic signs “short-circuiting.” An eastbound lane on McKenzie avenue was closed to repair the light.

In an update around 11:15 a.m., the ministry says the lighting is back to normal on the highway, but there is a lane closure for eastbound traffic under where the light was hit. The lights were operational by 10:45 a.m. before the ministry provided the update. All lanes were fully open by 12:50 p.m.
