Port Mann Bridge reopens after early morning car fire; no further related issues remain

Drivers on Highway 1 this morning may have been surprised to find some weekday-level traffic heading on to the Port Mann Bridge early Sunday morning.

A vehicle fire broke out into flames in the through lanes at midspan around 6:30 a.m., DriveBC confirmed in a post to social media.

The vehicle was extinguished and removed, but not before bringing traffic to a snarl.

1130 NewsRadio reached out to the RCMP and Emergency Health Services for more details.

The issue has been completely cleared.
