    Lions Gate Bridge Closed In Both Directions Due To Police Incident

    Darpan News Desk, 13 Jul, 2018 11:14 AM

      A serious police incident has closed Vancouver’s Lions Gate Bridge in both directions.

       

      The bridge was first closed at 7:30 a.m. and there is no estimated time for when it will reopen.

       

      Drivers already in the Stanley Park Causeway were told to stop and turn around.

       

      Bike and pedestrian traffic has also been blocked by police.

       

      Hundreds of commuters flooded the Lonsdale Quay SeaBus terminal, hoping to cross the Burrard Inlet by ferry instead of by car.

       

      "Anyone taking transit to or from the North Shore should build extra time into their trip," said a statement from TransLink.

       

      Downtown Vancouver buses that normally cross the Lions Gate Bridge to reach the North Shore are detouring to the Waterfront SeaBus terminal.
