An early morning fire in Richmond created temporary delays for some people heading toward the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) Wednesday.

The fire was reportedly at a restaurant on Bridgeport Road near No. 3 Road, just east of the Sea Island Bridge.

Richmond fire crews closed the intersection while working to knock down the fire. However, the roads reopened just before 6:40 a.m.
