Huge commuter delays after semi-truck fire near George Massey Tunnel
Drivers on Highway 99 in Delta and Richmond have been warned to brace for hefty delays and pretty much a nightmare rush hour after a large semi-truck burst into flames southbound around 3:30 pm Tuesday.
The incident at Slough Bridge near the George Massey Tunnel caused the right lane to be blocked, resulting in traffic delay. Emergency responders have arrived at the scene.
Shortly after 4:30 pm, BC’s Ministry of Transportation reported the fire was out, however, the right lane was still blocked and traffic woes and congestion should still be expected as the afternoon rush hour progresses.
UPDATE – #BCHwy99 #MasseyTunnel SB vehicle fire at Slough Bridge is OUT. Right lane blocked, counterflow and left lanes open. Expect delays due to congestion. Vehicle recovery now in progress. #RichmondBC #DeltaBC https://t.co/PuZO2v7wPn
