If you’re commuting west on Highway 1 Wednesday morning, it might be a good idea to change your route.

It’s very slow after a crash near the Lougheed overpass heading west.

The incident made a mess of the Port Mann Bridge, and while the crash has since cleared, traffic is still slow.

The HOV lane was blocked while crews cleared the crash.

Westbound traffic was backed up to 176 Street in Surrey during the morning rush hour.

The Coquitlam exit lanes can be used as a detour.
