Around 3:30 this morning, a transport truck carrying batteries caught fire, forcing all Toronto bound lanes to close between Fairview Street and Highway 403. 

One lane has re-opened, and a second lane is expected to open around 6 PM. 

The OPP says highway repaving is expected to begin around 9 PM. 

No injuries were reported.
