On the North Shore, the Lions Gate Bridge coming off the North Shore is heavier than normal, backed up to around Tomahawk Avenue and easing around Tomahawk Avenue. Down the cut, though, it's nothing out of the ordinary.
In Burnaby and New West, Highway 1 through Burnaby westbound is worse than usual. The stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge southbound is nothing out of the ordinary, easing at Columbia Street.
In the Tri-Cities, eastbound on Highway 7 toward Mission is busier than usual, and westbound is slow too.
In Richmond and Delta, we're seeing construction on Highway 17 in Whalley, and traffic through that work is about normal right now. Also keep in mind Highway 99, where traffic is busier than usual.
In Surrey, White Rock and Langley, we're watching construction on Highway 1 at 264th in Gloucester, and traffic through that work is busier than usual right now. Meanwhile Highway 1 at the Port Mann westbound is about average. Minor delays on Highway 17. Check the map for details.

These are behaving themselves: Highway 99 is running freely from the Sea-to-Sky north down through the Alex Fraser Bridge, the George Massey Tunnel, and the Port Mann Bridge -- all moving at speed.
Broadway's closed between Cambie and Alberta — the detour is W. 8th Avenue. stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge's closed at Front Street truck route — the detour is Columbia Street. George Massey Tunnel's seeing on-and-off closures between Steveston Highway and Highway 17A. Highway 1 at 264th's down to one lane between 216th and 264th.
Good news at the border tonight - U.S. Customs and Border Protection has Peace Arch sitting at zero minutes as of the 7 PM check, and it's the same story at Pacific Highway, no wait there either. Aldergrove's not reporting in right now, so no current reading on that one. And coming back into Canada, C.B.S.A.'s got it light across the board - just five minutes or less at all three crossings.

Premier David Eby unveiled new signs for B.C.'s border crossings this afternoon, telling the U.S. flatly that this province will never become the fifty first state.

It's the latest sign of just how strained the relationship with Washington has gotten.
B.C.'s forestry industry says it's hit a breaking point. In a letter sent to Premier David Eby this morning, industry leaders are calling for an emergency crisis group, one with real power to slash costs, clear away regulatory red tape and get economically viable wood actually moving to market. They want Eby to move fast.

Oil prices have broken back above one hundred dollars a barrel this morning, the first time that's happened since July. It follows attacks on oil facilities and vessels in the Middle East, adding more strain to a supply chain that was already stretched thin. Expect that to work its way into what you pay at the pump.
The Eiffel Tower is open again this morning after a strike shut it down. Staff walked out over what a union official called unacceptable management rules limiting how many women could work there. The tower reopened Tuesday once the dispute was resolved.
ABC is pushing back this morning on rumours that Jimmy Kimmel Live is getting cancelled in 2027. A spokesperson for the network says any talk about the show's future right now is pure speculation and just plain wrong. So for now, Kimmel isn't going anywhere.
