According to The Straits Times (ST), the road was damaged by the incident and was closed from about 5pm.
This led to a massive traffic jam outside the entrance of the KPE tunnel.
At about 4.52pm on Monday (24 Oct), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) shared on Twitter that there was an obstacle on KPE towards Tampines Expressway (TPE) at Nicoll Highway Entrance.

Heavy metal plates had fallen from a lorry and damaged the road, reported ST. From about 5pm, the Nicoll Highway entrance was closed.

Some speculated that parts of the tunnel had collapsed, but there was no truth to this statement.
At 12.12am on Tuesday (25 Oct), LTA posted a tweet informing the public that the Nicoll Highway entrance to KPE had reopened as road works were completed.
