Traffic will be detoured to the Alex Fraser Bridge.
“Measures will be in place to help reduce congestion and keep traffic moving as much as possible along the detour route, however, delays can be expected and travellers should plan accordingly or allow for extra time,” the Ministry of Transportation said.
Emergency vehicles and late-night service buses will have access to the tunnel “with an escort vehicle,” the ministry says.
