  • Alex Fraser Bridge closed in both directions

With the harsh winter conditions in the Lower mainland, Alex Fraser Bridge has been shut down in both directions. A tweet from Drive BC says to use an alternate route. The Port Mann Bridge could be closed if weather conditions deteriorate.

Crews are monitoring conditions and the Ministry will be updating on the re-opening time. There were reports of ice bombs crashing on peoples' cars in previous winters from the bridge and causing damage.
