Toyota Motor Corp.’s North America operations continue to be disrupted after protests closed off the Ambassador Bridge linking the U.S. and Canada, hurting production at several of the automaker’s plants in the region.
Toyota plants in Ontario, which were idled last week, are likely to continue to be affected this week, a company spokeswoman said Tuesday. Output will also remain curtailed at factories in Alabama, Kentucky and West Virginia due to factors including weather and supply issues, the spokeswoman said.
