After being closed for many hours today, the Lions Gate Bridge has been reopened to the public.

The bridge experienced a full closure at approximately 7:30 am this morning due to a police incident.

The closure caused serious delays for those coming into downtown Vancouver and the North Shore, as well as clogged many of the alternate routes, including public transit.
