OPP said the lanes began to reopen around 6 a.m.
Paramedics said three people suffered minor injuries.
As well, the southbound Highway 427 was closed at Highway 409 after two tractor-trailers crashed and then jackknifed. One lane has since reopened.
No serious injuries were reported.
There has been no word if weather was a factor in either crash.
However, the City of Toronto confirms to CityNews that roads and expressways were salted overnight.
