No snow warnings but warming weather could be another problem in Metro Vancouver
VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s Transportation Ministry is warning that warming temperatures following a bout of wintry weather could cause traffic snarls in Metro Vancouver today.
The province has closed the Alex Fraser Bridge between New Westminster and Delta, saying the combination of snow buildup and rising temperatures creates a safety concern.
The ministry says in a release that snow and ice could shed from the bridge’s cables and fall onto vehicles below.
