Highway 1 in Lower Mainland clear after several incidents

Highway 1 through the Lower Mainland was a mess Wednesday morning after several incidents snarled traffic for miles.

A broken-down semi-truck temporarily blocked the right lane westbound on Highway 1 in Burnaby, and is backing up traffic into Surrey.

The truck was on the right shoulder just before the Gaglardi Way exit ramp.

Traffic is still heavy from 176 Street.

You can take Lougheed Highway via the Coquitlam exit lanes as an alternate route.

Meanwhile, a four-car crash just west of Mt Lehman Road was blocking the left lane in Abbotsford.

And in Surrey, just after 176 Street, a stall was in the middle lane, while a stall was also blocking the right lane at the west end of the Port Mann Bridge.
