SURREY, B.C. — A serious vehicle crash on the Alex Fraser Bridge early Tuesday morning, February 10, is causing significant traffic delays for commuters traveling between Surrey, Delta, and White Rock. According to DriveBC, the incident prompted a full closure of the bridge in both directions during the early hours, leaving many drivers stranded and forcing authorities to redirect traffic while emergency crews responded to the scene.
Officials reported that the collision involved multiple vehicles, though details regarding the number of cars and the extent of injuries have not yet been confirmed. Emergency responders, including police, fire, and paramedic teams, were dispatched immediately to manage the situation, provide medical attention, and clear the roadway as quickly as possible. The closure impacted morning commuters, causing backups along key access routes and prompting alternative travel plans for drivers heading into and out of the Fraser River region.
DriveBC issued advisories urging motorists to avoid the area and to use alternative routes such as Highway 17 and the Pattullo Bridge while crews worked to safely reopen the Alex Fraser Bridge. Authorities emphasized the importance of caution for drivers in the surrounding areas, noting that icy and slippery road conditions may have contributed to the severity of the crash.
As investigations continue, traffic is expected to remain disrupted during the morning commute. Authorities have assured the public that they are working diligently to restore safe passage and to determine the cause of the collision. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available, highlighting the ongoing efforts to manage both safety and traffic flow
