Lions Gate Bridge closes northbound as too many cars get stuck in snow | Daily Hive

The Lions Gate Bridge is closed northbound out of downtown Vancouver after too many vehicles got stuck on the snowy Stanley Park Causeway.

Between six and 10 centimetres of snow fell on Metro Vancouver overnight, and the roads have been a slippery, slushy mess as a result.

DriveBC announced just before 10 am Tuesday that the northbound lanes of the Lions Gate were closed at Denman Street due to the amount of stalled vehicles.

“Expect major delays due to congestion, use alternate route,” DriveBC said on Twitter.
