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.
