VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – A police incident that shut down the centre lane of the Lions Gate Bridge has thrown a wrench into some people’s morning.

While the lane has since re-opened, traffic is heavy both into the North Shore and Vancouver.

You can take the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge as an alternate route, but that crossing is also quite congested.
