Some lanes have been re-opened after a road closure due to a semi-truck colliding with the overpass on 32 Avenue in northeast Calgary. 

Calgary police were on the scene earlier helping to direct traffic.

Earlier Calgary police advised that 32 Avenue N.E. overpass bridge crossing Deerfoot Trail N.E., was closed in both directions.

"The exit ramps remain open and accessible. Southbound Deerfoot Trail N.E., approaching 32 Avenue N.E., will have reduced operational lanes and traffic is expected to be impacted for a minimum of 48 hours while the structural integrity of the overpass is thoroughly assessed. Motorists are asked to avoid the area and find alternate routes."
