Highway 1 closure in Burnaby snarls traffic for several hours

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – It was a frustrating afternoon for thousands of drivers.

Highway 1 in Burnaby in between Kensington and Willingdon was closed in both directions for almost three hours due to a police incident.

The closure caused traffic slowdowns and delays in other routes in and around Burnaby including Boundary, Hastings and Gaglardi.

Photos on twitter indicated parts of the highway looked more like an eerie scene out of an apocalypse movie due to the lack of movement.

 

Drive BC says drivers should expect heavy volume for some time due to congestion.
