TWO ROW TIMES
The Ministry of Environment is looking into a tanker truck spill that dumped 43,000 litres of liquid asphalt on Highway 6 last week. The spill happened on the north side of Caledonia near Unity Road and
took more than 16 hours to clean up. The road was closed for 16 hours as police and MOE officials cleaned up the spill. Const. Patti Cote of the Haldimand OPP said they closed the road shortly after the spill, around 1 a.m. Roads did not re-open until 7:40 p.m. that night.
While the incident remains under investigation, police said the spill wasn’t the result of a collision. Highway 6 was closed at Unity Side Road and McClung Road was closed at Haldimand Road 66. Traffic was re-routed through the Highway 6 by-pass. The closure snarled
traffic through the region. Officials from the MOE and hazmat companies were on scene for the cleanup and repair work. According to CTV news, Environment Ministry spokesperson Lindsay Davidson said 43,000 litres of liquid asphalt was spilled on the roadway and roadside ditches. “The focus is current-
ly on responding to the incident, assessing the environmental impact, and ensuring cleanup is carried out,” Davidson told CTV news. The Two Row Times reached out to the MOE for further information on any possible long-term environmental damage but did not hear back by press time.
