  • Falling Ice And Snow Prompts Closure Of Bridge In Metro Vancouver
VANCOUVER — British Columbia's winter storm has prompted a bridge closure in both directions in Metro Vancouver.
 
Drive B.C. says the Alex Fraser Bridge is closed due to falling snow and ice.
 
The bridge connects Richmond and New Westminster with North Delta.
 
The B.C. government says crews worked overnight to monitor and clear the Port Mann and Alex Fraser bridges.
 
It had warned that motorists could see temporary lane closures on the Alex Fraser to allow snow and ice to safely melt from the cables.
 
Snowfall warnings are in effect for Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and parts of Vancouver Island.
