Lions Gate Bridge closed to all traffic after accident
UPDATE:
West Vancouver Police reported that the bridge was re-opened to single-lane traffic at 2:58 pm. Drivers are reminded to use caution though, as the closure has resulted in traffic backlog.
It could be a slow commute home this afternoon for those who normally take the Lions Gate Bridge.
According to a tweet from West Vancouver Police, the bridge is currently closed in all lanes and all directions, due to an accident and an injury.
