An incident left the westbound right and left lanes blocked just west of the 200th Street exit in Langley. Vehicles were able to pass in the HOV line.
However, it didn’t help during rush hour, as drivers’ commute times doubled or tripled.
Crews installed a temporary signal to try and get things moving. After 9 a.m., traffic lights were finally back to normal.
The province says a new signal will be installed tomorrow.
